Welcome to St. Stanislaus Parish!

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.
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

Every Friday in Lent at 7pm

Your donations are greatly appreciated!

St. Stanislaus Parish “GIFT” Program (Growing In Faith Together)
Tuesday, March 11th, at 7:00 pm in the Parish Center Lobby Meeting Room
Topic – Bringing Healing and Hope to Someone from a Divorced or Broken Family
Speaker – Joey Pontarelli , Author & Founder of Restored Ministry

For many teens and young adults, the most traumatic experience in their lives is their parents’ separation or divorce. Sadly, few know how to properly help them.
As a result, they feel alone and struggle in serious ways with emotional problems, unhealthy habits, relationship difficulties, and more.
In this talk, Joey Pontarelli offers time-tested tactics that you can use to help young people from broken families to heal their trauma, build virtue, and be restored to healthy relationships.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, coach, youth leader, friend, or significant other, this talk is for you.
You’ll learn what to say and do, and perhaps more importantly, what to not say and do.
It will equip you to help the person in your life from a broken family to feel less alone and get the help they need to heal and thrive.
Please join us to learn more.

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.
