The Rise of Catholicism in South-Eastern Europe (told through the history of its 800-year-old Parish, St. Stanislaus Bishop and Martyr, Dobrzechów, Poland, by Reverend Ludwig Grzebień, S.J., Translated by Frederic S. Topor.

Founded in 1185 AD by Cistercian monks, this parish was the focal point of religious worship in southeastern region of Poland, bringing relief and comfort to people besieged by wars and enemy occupation, natural disasters and, above all, the responsibilities and drudgery of serfdom. It was the spiritual center of their lives, and they enhanced it with their hands, their meager earnings and their unshakeable faith. Hundreds of votive offerings, altars, statues and paintings that were commissioned and contributed by poor, but grateful, peasant families can still be seen in the various nooks and crannies of the church's recesses. The faith that inspired them was passed on from generation to generation and it came with them to America where they quickly coalesced as a people to build Polish churches for their American-born children and grandchildren.
