St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church, South Deerfield, Massachusetts

St. Stanislaus Roman Catholic Church was formed in 1908 and was South Deerfield's second Catholic Church. It was created to provide a home for the large number of recent Polish Catholic immigrants, who were culturally distinct from the earlier Catholic in Franklin County, many of whom were French, Irish, or German. In 1929 a dissident group within the church split off from St. Stanislaus to form their own congregation. This new church, The Holy Name of Jesus Church, was affiliated with the Polish National Catholic Church. The interior of St. Stanislaus was given its current appearance during a remodeling that happened in 1948.
