In 1993, the remains of Donatas Malinauskas, a signatory of the Lithuanian Act of Independence, his wife Sofija Malinauskienė (Tanska) and sister Filomena Malinauskaitė were brought from the Altai region and solemnly buried in the yard of Onuškis church. Currently, a special attention in the church of Apostles Philip and James is given to commemorating public holidays and red letter days: The 13th of January – the Day of Restoration of the State of Lithuania, the 16th of February – the Day of Restoration of Lithuania's Independence, the 11th of March – Statehood Day, and the 6th of July. Mass for the whole Lithuania, for the dead who fought for the freedom of Lithuania, for the living who are fostering and creating the today’s Lithuania.

The anniversary of Onuškis church of the Apostles Philip and James was solemnly commemorated in 2019. Before the anniversary, the liturgical vessels, paintings of the Holy Spirit, St. George, St. Anthony and St. Joseph had been restored by the efforts of the priest Algimantas Gaidukevičius, votive offerings polished and neatly hanged, stained glass replaced, and organ of the church was restored as well.

The indulgences of St. Joseph, the Apostles Philip and James, the Revelation of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles (Pentecost) and St. Roch are celebrated in the church. There are beautiful moments from the most famous indulgences of St. Roch in the memory of our parents and grandparents, when a large number people from various nooks of the parish used to gather and relatives one haven’t seen for a long time used to meet. People were in no hurry to leave. After the Mass, they used to talk in the churchyard, sat down on the grass or the yards of the relatives in groups. Indulgences of St. Roch are the most memorable ones to the people of the parish.

The most important liturgical celebrations of Onuškis parish’s church of the Apostles Philip and James are: the main and the most important, title indulgences of Philip and James, Christmas – the birth of Christ and Easter – the resurrection of Christ. Preparations for them are made responsibly. The main focus is on concentration, worshiping, calmness, the importance of confession and the Holy Communion. The church is cleaned, and the altars are decorated.

During the Lent, while waiting for the resurrection of Christ i.e. Easter, the believers in the church travel through the Stations of the Cross on every Friday and Sunday before the Mass. A prayer is said at each station, the suffering, death and resurrection of Christ is pondered, the respective songs of the Lent are sung. Celebratory worshiping ceremonies begin at 8 o'clock in the Easter morning. Easter eggs, bread and other food, which will be put on the Easter table, is consecrated. The church is beautifully decorated with early spring flowers once again. The main altar is decorated with a light-colored cloth i.e. white and yellow.

From the early Middle Ages to the present day, the pilgrims are drawn to the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, where the apostle James was found buried. The promotion of this road in Lithuania started in 2012, and the church of the Apostles Philip and James was added to the Way of St. James of Europe. In June 1st, 2016, the Government of Lithuania has decided to mark 32 shrines in Lithuania with a yellow shell in a blue background as the sign of St. James’ road. Two of the shrines are in the territory of Trakai district municipality: Trakai Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the church of the Apostles Philip and James.

Pilgrims walking St. James’ road are always visiting Onuškis church in Trakai district. This way the news about the town of Oniškis are spread on the roads of pilgrimage and worshiping in Lithuania.
