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!

Parish Lenten Service Project
On Saturday, April 12th, St. Stanislaus will hold its Parish Lenten Service Project in the school café.

This project will support Jenna’s Blessing Bag Foundation, established in memory of Jenna Burleigh,

a 22 year-old student at Temple University who’s life was tragically taken in 2017.

She had actively supported the homeless by distributing Blessing Bags, and her family has continued this mission in her memory.

JBB Foundation will provide backpacks, that we will fill with donated personal items to be distributed by JBB.
We are in need of people to help fill the backpacks on April 12th, and also in need of the necessary items to fill them.

Below are the items needed. Please bear in mind that items should not be too large as they need to fit into a backpack.

Collection boxes will be in the back of the Church and at the Parish Center.

(Please be mindful to put items in the labeled box in the Main Street vestibule so items are not confused with Food Cupboard donated items in the side vestibules)

St. Stanislaus Parish “GIFT” Program (Growing In Faith Together)
Tuesday, April 8th, at 7:00 pm in the Parish Center Lobby Meeting Room
Topic – Catholic Perspective on Smartphones and Social Media
Speaker – Alex Haynie, Live Vertical Ministry

How can parents help their children thrive in a phone-based culture? There is so much evidence now about the harms of smartphones and social media on our kid’s mental health, on how phones reduce sleep, hurt academic performance, and increase anxiety and depression. There is a growing consensus that adults have to do something about it. Drawing on Jonathan Haidt’s new and bestselling book titled Anxious Generation, this presentation will identify what we are up against in our new phone-based childhood culture and begin a conversation about what we can do going forward.

Our speaker, Alex Haynie, is a husband and father of four children, and Director of Strategic Initiatives for the Catholic non-profit Live Vertical Ministry. He will share information from current research and offer suggestions on how parents can protect their children in this new digital world and help them to use their phones more responsibly.

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.
