Dear Guests of the St. Stanislaus Church Website,

        When a group of people works and sacrifices together, laughs, cries, and prays together during their lifetime, they create a community with a common history and rich heritage that becomes an essential element of their identity.
       St Stanislaus Kostka Church of Rochester is a worshipping community with a history of over 120 years. A central focus of our Church community is to serve God and people through His Word and Sacraments and led by the Spirit. Our Parish is a place that over many years ministers to its brothers and sisters, affirming and promoting the life and growth of its children, young adults, the elderly, the poor, and the sick. We are striving to live our faith and united by faith we bring God’s message alive. Through words and deeds we reach out and support each other and our community by giving of our time, talent, and treasure.
       The community of St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish is deeply and firmly rooted in the past, living in the present, and building for the future. As an ethnic community its roots reach to Poland, where religion was a stronghold of a national identity, and the relationship between faith and fatherland is our heritage. With our roots come our traditions and values, which our ancestors brought back with them from Poland and other parts of Europe to America. They lived with a deep faith in God and love of God, and a deep conviction and loyalty to national and religious traditions. This gift, which our ancestors gave us, we are striving to treasure and keep alive for the future generations to come.
May we bless those who seek our church, so we can experience further growth and prosperity in the future.
       It is a great honor and privilege that the Holy Spirit brought me to St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish, that I may serve God and this community as a spiritual leader and pastor.

Father Adam Ogorzaly
