St. Stanislaw Society Celebrates 100 Years

By

by Bea Peterson
The St. Stanislaw Society (The Polish Hall) began 100 years ago as an organization made up of Catholic males of Polish descent. The “Polish Hall” was a place for members to hear the language of their homeland, to maintain Polish traditions and to socialize. The St. Stanislaw Society Women’s Auxiliary was active and supportive as well. Over the years the Society has changed with the times. While the organization still remembers the customs of Poland and maintains St. Stanislaw, the Bishop, as the guardian of the Society, it has transformed itself into a service organization that provides a social atmosphere for any adult who wishes to become a member. Today the organization has a membership of almost 600 people in 11 states. Since 1996, the St. Stanislaw Society has donated almost half a million dollars to over 80 local and regional charitable organizations. [Read more…] about St. Stanislaw Society Celebrates 100 Years
