Click on "Home" for latest Website updates.

  This list of parishes came from a survey of Polish Churches in the United States in 1944. It includes the number of parishioners, the number serving in the military, the number that died in service, and the name of the Pastor.

This information, on Post Cards, was located in the Archives of the Polish Museum of America in Chicago, IL in 1999. Only the section that has the states Kansas to West Virginia cards has been found.

The list is in alphabetical order by state, city within the state, and parish name within the city.
