In 1468, thanks to King Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk, they came to Radom oo. Bernardine monks starting the construction of the monastery. Simultaneously with the construction of the wooden monastery, the church of St. Catherine of Alexandria. Very soon after the construction of a wooden monastery, already in 1480, the construction of a brick monastery began. The complex was fortified. Over the centuries, the monastery was expanded - the chapel of St. Anna, renovation works were carried out, it was given a baroque character, and cloisters were built. In 1864, the monastery was dissolved and many monks were sent deep into Russia for their patriotic activities. The monastery and the church were then taken over by diocesan priests. The Bernardines again return to Radom in 1936. In the church of St. Catherine, there is a perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Since 2000, the monastery has been operating the Kitchen for the Poor of St. Anthony.
