The parish of St. Mary of Czestochowa in New Kensington

Photo of St. Marys The parish of St. Mary of Czestochowa in New Kensington was founded in 1893 by Polish immigrants who came to industrialize and farm the area. Now a Catholic community of various ethnic backgrounds still committed to our baptismal call to be the Body of Christ by hearing the Word of God, celebrating the sacraments, especially the Eucharist, and becoming Christ to one another.

Called to use our unique and special gifts, bestowed upon us by our heavenly Father, we are committed to strengthening the faith of our members from the youngest to the oldest, continuing our journey of a lifetime, and reaching out to the wider community by education, service and evangelization. We seek to build a stronger community through the efforts of all parishioners, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
