St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, Warsaw

The parish was created in 1927 in the area on the northern outskirts of city, which was the site of significant development during the interbellum period.

Construction on the monumental Neo-Romanesque church building began in 1930, but was interrupted by World War II, and not completed until 1963.

The church is the well-known Sanctuary of Blessed Jerzy Popiełuszko, who was the spiritual leader of Solidarność and was killed by the Communists in 1984.

From 1980 he conducted very popular Masses for the Fatherland that became a kind of manifesto for the social movement and protesters, attracting people from all around Poland.
