St. Stanislaus, Bishop & Martyr Catholic Church invites you to join the campaign!
Founded in 1900, the origins of St. Stanislaus were to serve an ever-growing Polish community located on the Northwest sector of South Bend, IN. Now, 125 years later, St. Stanislaus, Bishop & Martyr Catholic Church, has announced the first-ever capital campaign since becoming a designated parish for the celebration of the ancient form of the Mass in 2015.
This project began by addressing the installation of a new confessional, which revealed structural issues concerning the choir loft. While the planning to undertake the fix began, it gradually became clear that the prudent thing for the parish was to complete related renovations. By completing these as one project now, it will save us drastically on construction costs in the long run. These needed improvements are practical and will significantly improve both the usability and beauty of our church building.
Together, we have accomplished so much to restore our beloved parish and uphold the beauty of the liturgy. As St. Stanislaus turns 125 years old this year, we are bringing this work to fruition with the Resurrectio capital campaign.
With everyone coming together, we will see a new narthex, shrine settings, and confessional as well as a renovated lower-level space, preserved choir loft, refurbished pews and more!
Needed Funds
The parish needs $1.7 million to execute all planned renovations.
Phased construction
Construction will occur in three phases.
Making it Happen
The project will begin once we have 50% in cash and 50% in pledges.
Your Support
Thank you for your generous gift to the Resurrectio Ad Vitam Novam Campaign.
Having children with Autism makes it difficult to stay in Mass without disruptions. A proper narthex in the church would provide both me and my children the opportunity adore our Lord in a more reverent manner.

One of my favorite aspects of St. Stanislaus is the statues of St. Anthony and St. Thérèse on
each side of the main aisle, near the entrance. Our family has a special devotion to these beautiful saints, so I love the plan to give them truly fitting pedestals from which to greet everyone and warmly welcome them into the church—and to watch over our rambunctious children in the back during Mass!

At St. Stanislaus, it is clear the heart of our parish is in the pews, giving God right worship above all. What a gift it is to give Him what is due alongside such a devoted, vibrant, and loving community.
