According to few preserved historical sources, the sacred establishment in Kolibki has a long history. Probably on a small hill there originally existed a small baptismal chapel, and then a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary. On the map of the Puck Bay from 1720, the locality "Kalipka" seems to contain the "symbol" of a church. Did a temple already exist here at that time? It's difficult to answer this question because there is a lack of source confirmation. We do know, however, that the Church of St. Joseph was founded in the years 1763-1764 by General Józef Przebendowski, the owner of the estate in Sopot, who acquired the Kolibki estate from his cousin Ignacy, the starosta of Puck and Mirachowo. The founder planned to settle the Capuchin Friars at the church, for whom supposedly construction of a monastery with a mission house began. However, this plan was not realized because J. Przebendowski died shortly thereafter, and his heirs showed no interest in the Kolibki estate. The Church of St. Joseph was probably built on the site of former sacred objects, where for over a hundred years pilgrimage groups from Gdańsk and Oliwa gathered to go on pilgrimage to Kalwaria Wejherowska (the second stop for pilgrims was in Ruma, and the next one at the Oliwa Gate in Wejherowo). The temple, which until World War II served as the Catholic parish church for Kolibki and Orlowo, was completely destroyed in 1939.
