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

Your donations are greatly appreciated!

Parish Advent Service Project

The 1st event for our new Parish Service Projects will take place on Saturday, December 14th, from 9am-11am in the Parish Center Lobby Meeting Room. The activity will be producing PLYARN (plastic-yarn) that will be delivered to “Integrate for Good”, a training center for challenged young adults. They will weave the PLYARN into mats to be distributed to organizations and agencies that gift the mats to homeless persons, providing them with insulation from the cold and/or wet ground.

We will be recycling plastic shopping bags by cutting them into loops, linking the loops into a chain, then rolling the chain into a yarn-like ball. If you can join us, please bring a pair of long-bladed scissors (shears) and any plastic shopping bags you may have. If you do not have these items, please come anyway to help loop and roll the PLYARN.

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.
