About St. Mary Polish American Society

St. Mary Polish American Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and an official non-profit corporation in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania dedicated to the two-pronged mission of promoting awareness and appreciation of our Polish history and cultural heritage and raising money for the upkeep and maintenance of St. Mary’s Church so it can serve as the cultural and religious heritage site for Polish people throughout Montgomery County and the surrounding area.

As of May 2016, St. Mary Polish American Society successfully delayed an attempt by St. Matthew's Parish to take away St. Mary’s status as a Catholic church, which would have led to the eventual sale and demolition of St. Mary’s Church if no action was taken. Our group’s mission provides another path forward, one in which St. Mary’s can remain a Catholic church, while not being a financial burden to St. Matthew’s Parish. St. Mary Polish American Society continued to be responsible for the maintenance and upkeep costs of the church.
