Church of Christ the King and Infant Jesus, Vilnius

Church of Christ the King and Infant Jesus is a Roman Catholic church in Aukštasis Pavilnys, the eastern part of the city of Vilnius, which was completed in 1935.

During the Operation Ostra Brama, heavy fighting took place on the parish territory. Father Lucjan Sołtan, the parish priest and military chaplain of the local Home Army, organized the burial of Polish soldiers killed in the fighting and in a field hospital in the church cemetery. On July 10, 1993, a monument engraved with the names and codenames of the fallen Home Army soldiers was built upon the mass grave, through the efforts of the World Association of Home Army Soldiers and the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites.

In 2009 the church was inscribed to the Register of Cultural Heritage of Lithuania.
