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

Pope Francis invited all people to encounter the person of Jesus Christ fully
and to serve their brothers and sisters with love and humility as instruments of grace.
We ask all to offer prayers for the happy repose of Pope Francis’ soul.
May God grant him the gift of eternal life and bring comfort to a Church in mourning.

Your donations are greatly appreciated!

Sunday of Divine Mercy

April 27th

I desire that the Feast of Mercy be a refuge and shelter for all souls, and especially for poor sinners. On that day the very depths of My tender mercy are open. I pour out a whole ocean of graces upon those souls who approach the fount of My mercy. The soul that will go to Confession and receive Holy Communion shall obtain complete forgiveness of sins and punishment. On that day all the divine floodgates through which grace flow are opened. Let no soul fear to draw near to Me, even though its sins be as scarlet. (Diary #699)
[Note: confession does not have to be done on the Sunday itself. Beforehand is fine]

Divine Mercy Holy Hour

My mercy is so great that no mind, be it of man or of angel, will be able to fathom it throughout all eternity.”
(Diary of St. Faustina #699)

You are invited to join St. Stanislaus Parish on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27th,  for an extraordinary celebration of thanksgiving for the graces received on this great feast day.     The Holy Hour will begin at 3:00 pm in St. Stanislaus Parish Church.  There will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, Confessions, Singing of the Divine Mercy Chaplet, Benediction and time for silent prayer and thanksgiving.

I want to grant complete pardon to the souls that will go to Confession
and receive Holy Communion on the Feast of My mercy. (Diary 1109)

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.
