History
Prior to church's construction, Polish parishioners in Jersey City had to take a ferry across to New York City to attend St. Stanislaus Church.[3] The church was built in 1892 to serve what is now the oldest Polish-speaking parish in New Jersey.[4][5] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004.
