Welcome to Our Lady of Poland
DIVINE MERCY SUNDAYThis Sunday is Divine Mercy Sunday. The Congregation for Divine Worship decreed (23 May 2000) that “throughout the world the Second Sunday of Easter will receive the name Divine Mercy Sunday, a perennial invitation to the Christian World to face, with confidence in divine benevolence, the difficulties and trials that humankind will experience in the years to come.”
Devotion to Divine Mercy was promoted by St. Faustina Kowalska.
We will pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy after all masses on Divine Mercy Sunday, April 27th. You are encouraged to join us.

Prayer at the Passing of Pope Francis
O God, faithful rewarder of souls, grant that your departed servant Pope Francis, whom you made successor of Peter and shepherd of your Church, may happily enjoy for ever in your presence in heaven the mysteries of your grace and compassion, which he faithfully ministered on earth. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever. Amen. (Roman Missal)
Pope Francis Biography
Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, was the first pope from the Americas and the first Jesuit to lead the Catholic Church. Before his election as pope on March 13, 2013, he served as Archbishop of Buenos Aires, where he was known for his humility, simple lifestyle, and dedication to the poor.
Raised in a family of Italian immigrants, he studied chemistry before entering the seminary and joining the Jesuits. Ordained a priest in 1969, he later became the Provincial of the Jesuits in Argentina and played a key role in guiding the Church during a period of economic and social crises in the country. When he was appointed bishop in 1992 and archbishop in 1998, he prioritized evangelization, social justice, and pastoral outreach.
As pope, Francis emphasized mercy, care for the marginalized, and environmental stewardship. His papacy was marked by a call for a “poor Church for the poor,” interfaith dialogue, and reform within the Vatican. His teachings focused on compassion, the dignity of every person, and the need for a missionary Church.
On April 21, 2025, Pope Francis passed away, leaving behind a legacy of love, humility, and service.
Memorial Mass at St. Agnes Cathedral Bishop Barres will celebrate a Memorial Mass for Pope Francis at St. Agnes Cathedral on Monday, April 28 at 7:00 PM, joined by priests from across the Diocese. All are invited and encouraged to attend this diocesan expression of faith, gratitude, and prayer for the successor of Peter.

Fr. Janusz Lipski and the Parishioners of Our Lady of Poland wish to thank the Stockholders, Members and Directors; Helen Corrigan, Stan Glinka, John Grocki and Vincent Scerbinski of the Polish American Political Club for underwriting the entire cost of the 100th Jubilee Banquet at the Polish Hall on June 30th, 2018. We are most grateful for your extreme generosity.
Exactly 100 hundred years ago, on June 30, 1918, the first mass was celebrated by Rev. Aleksander Cizmowski in the Schwenk’s Arcade building in Southampton Village. Money was raised by 331 families and the St. Anthony’s Benevolent Society and soon ground was broken for a church to be constructed at our current day location of 35 Maple Street. The church was completed on Christmas Eve, 1918. At 6AM on Christmas Day, 1918 the first mass was said by Rev. Cizmowski in the new church.
Today, 100 years later, we celebrate and give thanks to our founders, many of whom are the grandparents of our current parishioners, for their courage and vision to build our beautiful church.
We thank Bishop Andrzej Zglejszewski for celebrating the 100th Anniversary Mass with us.
We are so grateful for all those who contributed to this day. Our parish would not be the special place that it is without our loyal and faithful parishioners who do so much for our church.
INSTALLATION OF FIRST CLASS RELIC OF POPE SAINT JOHN PAUL II
What a special day we had on May 5, 2019 when Most Reverend Richard Henning celebrated Mass with us in honor of Our Lady Queen of Poland and installed our first class relic of Pope Saint John Paul II, which we received from the Vatican at the request of Fr. Janusz, with the assistance of Bishop Barres. The relic was installed under the portrait of St. Pope John Paul II, which was painted for Our Lady of Poland and blessed by Bishop Brennan several years ago. We are most grateful to the Southampton Knights of Columbus for sponsoring this event.
