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

“For everything there is a season… and a soundtrack.” – Ecclesiastes-ish

One of the surprising ways we come to know one another is through music.
Songs have a way of embedding themselves in our memories and hearts—
they help us celebrate, grieve, laugh, and remember.
They mark key moments, link memories, and remind us of certain times in our lives.
All of us have songs we love, even if it’s just in our heads,
songs that play alongside the big and small moments that shape who we are.

As the new administrator of St Stanislaus,
I thought a fun way to introduce myself is to share a few songs from my own playlist over the next few weeks—
not the ones I necessarily play in church, but the ones that bring back stories, stir memories, or just make me smile.
Some of these songs aren’t exactly sacred (a couple might even make you raise an eyebrow),
but they are part of the story God has written in my life so far.

Each song comes with a little story.
Some are humorous. Some are humbling. A few are deeply personal.
But together, they give a glimpse into how I became the priest standing before you—
and maybe they’ll spark some of your own memories too.

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.
