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

New Liturgical Study
Elements of the Catholic Mass Study Series 
The Second Vatican Council declared that the faithful should participate in the liturgy “fully aware of what they are doing.”
Elements of the Catholic Mass is designed to help the faithful better appreciate and understand
the signs, symbols, gestures, words, and beauty of the Mass.
Featuring Fr. Douglas Martis, former director of the Liturgical Institute,
the program consists of thirty-one beautifully produced short videos (approximately 4 minutes long).
The videos will be accompanied by guided discussion to further enhance understanding and provide answers to participants’ questions.
The goals of this study group are to lead its members to a more fully conscious and active participation in the liturgy
as well as to serve as an introduction to deeper studies on the Eucharist as we complete the final year of the National Eucharistic Revival.
First & Third Thursdays of the month, beginning November 7th, 7:00–8:15pm, in the Parish Center.

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.
