Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish, Coventry

Our Lady of Czestochowa Parish - designated for Polish immigrants in Coventry, Rhode Island (Former Quidnick village), United States.

In 1905, the Bishop of the Diocese of Providence Matthew Harkins sent Father Francis Kluger to organize the parish.

Francis Kluger began celebrating Mass in the basement of St. John's Church.

The Gothic style edifice of the church with a seating capacity of 400 was completed in the spring of 1907.

As an expression of their great love and devotion to the Mother of God, the Polish immigrants named the church Our Lady of Czestochowa, in honor of Mary's most famous shrine in Poland.
