St. Stanislaus Church

We recently attended a wedding mass at St. Stanislaus with Father Bozek. The parish is beautiful and Father Bozek is both enlightening and entertaining.

We were in STL for a long weekend and noticed that the church was having a Fall Festival. Unfortunately we got there closer to 2pm and they had almost completely sold out of food. We were able to get cabbage rolls and sauerkraut and it was wonderful. We enjoyed talking with the locals, listening to the polka band, and enjoying a wonderful afternoon. There were items for sale, a white elephant book sale, baked good (YUM), Polish items, games, etc. If we had hung around longer, there were excellent silent auction items and the live auction was starting as we left. Everyone was so friendly.

I have been attending St. Stanislaus as a parish since March of 2012. I was very lucky to start attending, as it was during the tail end of the ridiculous and «bloody» lawsuit from the Archdiocese and the not for profit corporation of the Parish.
Once I started attending, I was immediately treated like a family member, which was amazing. I usually do altar serving during Saturday evenings, and they always have room for more volunteers for serving and for lecturers.
The church was built back in the 1890’s and the architecture is strictly Polish Cathedral. The church has three huge domes and boasts beautiful stained glass windows and statues all around.
Even if you don’t consider yourself to be «Catholic», I do still recommend anyone to come and attend. And anyone who is baptized as a christian is welcome to receive communion.

St. Stanislaus Kostka is a great parish, very welcoming and inviting to all! I would highly recommend coming to their services, check out their website,

St. Stanislaus Kostka is a Polish church located in north St. Louis city is truly a place to see for multiple reasons. The first reason of going there is to gain a better understanding of the whole conflict with the Archdiocese. The other reason to go there is because of the history that the church has and the impact it has had on the surrounding neighborhood.
St. Stanislaus Kostka boasts the best example of the Polish Cathedral style. Inside you have beautiful statues and the large domes, three of them in fact. The recently refurbished building looks beautiful inside and everyone should see it at least once.
