The Culture of the Parish is Recognized by its Cemetery
In 2023 the Parishioners of St Stanislaus decided to replace the fence around the cemetery by the Church. They did this to restore the sacredness of the place diminished by the overgrown trees and brush around the previous chain link fence.
Before:
After:
Pray for the deceased of your family and friends and make their graves beautiful.

Beatification in Silesia
Rejoice Silesia,
God is always watching over you,
He constantly sends new patrons to you.
Respect their virtues,
Take their advice,
Follow their example.
(Based on the fifth verse of a song honoring Blessed Bronislawa).
On June 11th, 2022, in Wrocław, the Capital of Silesia (in present day Poland) at the request of Pope Francis, the names of ten new beatified were announced. On behalf of the Pope, this special event was presided by Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, the Prefect of the Congregation for Canonizations. The new Beatified for the Universal Church are Sisters from the Congregation of St. Elizabeth who were killed in 1945. The majority of the Sisters were from Silesia. They took care of the elderly and sick in various places in the region of Silesia and in 1945 some were raped and all of them were killed by the Red Army soldiers.

The names of the new Beatified are as follows:
Sister S.M. Edelburgis Kubitzki, 40 - killed February 20th, 1945
Sister S.M. Rosaria Schilling, 36 - killed February 23rd, 1945
Sister S.M. Adela Schramm, 59 - killed February 25th, 1945
Sister S.M. Sabina Thienel, 35 - killed March 1st, 1945
Sister S.M. Adelheidis Töpfer, 57- killed March 24th, 1945
Sister S.M. Melusja Rybka, 39 - killed March 24th, 1945
Sister S.M. Sapientia Heymann, 70 - killed March 24th, 1945
Sister S.M. Felicitas Ellmerer, 56 - killed March 25th, 1945
Sister S.M. Acntina Goldberg, 62 - killed May 2nd, 1945
Sister S.M. Paschalis Jahn, 29 - killed May 11th, 1945
With the consent of Joseph Stalin, the Russian soldiers brought “the day of judgment and justice” to the territory and people of the Third Reich. Because at the time, Silesia was part of the Third Reich, the soldiers of the “liberating army” at the east of the Odra and Nysa rivers, burned, killed and destroyed cities and raped 1.4 million women (according to some statistics). Among those raped and killed were the Beatified nuns.
As a relic, the participants of the celebration brought a communion chalice that was used by the Sisters of St. Elizabeth. In 1945 the chalice was desecrated by the soldiers who first used it during their libations and then used it for target practice. The new Beatified will be memorialized by the Church on June 11th every year.
