Founded in 1876 to serve a growing Catholic population between Glenside and Doylestown, St. Stanislaus is the “mother Church” of many of our neighboring Catholic parishes, particularly in the North Penn area. We are part of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia and grounded in the sacramental, liturgical, moral and prayer traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.
The various ministries of parish outreach and service touch many of our non-Catholic and Catholic neighbors.
St. Stanislaus co-sponsors Mater Dei (Latin for “Mother of God”) Catholic School,
a Pre-K through 8th grade elementary school that stresses core values of
Faith, Excellence, Service and Community
.

Everyone is welcome to join with us to worship our loving God of abundance

Your donations are greatly appreciated!

2023 Contribution Letters

Due to changes in the tax code, many people no longer need to itemize deductions on their Income Tax Return.  With that in mind, and as we have done the last few years,  we will not automatically send “tax letters” but will be glad to send a letter  to anyone who requests it. Please email your name, address, and envelope number to  trishc@ststanislaus.com or call 215-855-3133 x3. The information will be available by the end of January.  Thank you for your cooperation.

The Bishops of the United States are calling for a three-year grassroots revival of devotion and belief in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
They believe that God wants to see a movement of Catholics across the United States,
healed, converted, formed, and unified by an encounter with Jesus in the Eucharist —
and sent out in mission “for the life of the world.”
The three-year Eucharistic Revival began on June 19, 2022, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi,
and has moved into it’s 2nd, or Parish, year on the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ (June 11, 2023).
In July 2024, the Church in the United States will hold a National Eucharistic Congress
Please visit the Archdiocesan Eucharistic Revival website, phillyeucharisticrevival.org, to find out more.

Your generous donations are greatly appreciated!
There are several convenient options for your contributions:  drop in the basket on the altar at Mass,  put in the Parish Center mailbox or mail to the Parish Center; you can also sign up for online giving at ParishGiving.org, which you can also download via the Parish Giving app on the App Store or Google Play.

SCAM ALERT! Please remember that Parish Center staff, including our priests, will never email or text requests for money, gift cards, or help in any way. If you receive one, please mark emails as spam/junk and block any phone numbers that text you. DO NOT respond to these requests.

Pope Francis prayer to Virgin Mary for protection:

O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick.
At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus’ pain, with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee,
joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform ourselves to the Father’s will and to do what Jesus tells us:
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us,
through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger,
O glorious and blessed Virgin.
