Atlantic Canada's only Polish parish. Founded in 1913. Historic church rebuilt after a devastating fire. Welcome to all! Zapraszamy!
In 2022, St. Mary's Polish Parish is proud to be marking 109 years of faith and service.
We are the heart and soul of Cape Breton's Polish community, one of Canada's longest-standing Polish communities.
We are a welcoming parish with a generous Catholic faith, rich customs and traditions, lots of energetic community outreach and neighbourhood projects, and a commitment to working with other faiths and cultures.
We are located in the middle of Whitney Pier, Nova Scotia's original multicultural community. Our church is designated as a historic site by the Province of Nova Scotia, the only such site honouring Polish Nova Scotians.
Our historic church was constructed in 1913, but destroyed by fire in 2014. With your support and love, the church has been rebuilt. It is a warm and spiritual place.
We host many community activities and events. We are also active in projects to support newcomers and projects related to food security and supporting marginalized members of our broader community. We are presently actively fund-raising for Ukrainian humanitarian relief.
We could not do this without your kindness. We are very grateful.
Bóg zapłać! God bless!
