The history of the village of Kalveliai started in late 19th century, while Šumskas was bought by landlord Kazimieras Šumskis in 1618, and was named after him. In 1696, his son established a church and a Dominican parish school. By 1789, the order had already built a new brick church which remains to this day.[2]
In 2000, Kalveliai saw the construction of a new church, and in 2007, the first[dubious – discuss] monument in Lithuania dedicated to Pope John Paul II was erected nearby.[2]
