St. Adalbert Roman Catholic Church — Local services in Philadelphia

The church has been updated and renovated since the way it was in the old days. When it comes to Mass you have a choice of either 5PM on Saturdays in English, or Sundays at 7:30AM (Polish), 9AM (English), 10:30AM (Polish). There are now TV screens to help you follow along during mass, and a bathroom available. This place is also handicap accessible, and has its own private parking lot off on Edgemont street. It's a church my parents like to attend to, and I won't lie it fits their needs and is beautiful. I've seen a better priest handle things here though, and he's not here anymore. The church is a bit rigid. The one thing I will recommend, that I have always loved, is their yearly bazaars. They include Polish food, beer, water ice, funnel cake, games, a bouncy house, a flea market, adults can gamble and kids can play chance games. There's also Polish music, which the bazaar is a great time to meet up and see people you haven't seen in years. I went to the school that used to be conjoined with it, but is now Our Lady of something... shows how much I know, but I still like to pop up and see my old teachers during the event. Baskets are also raffled off, but in general, if you ever want to taste authentic Polish food the bazaar is always closer to the end of June during the 20's. The website will tell you more about...

I will post Gothic Revival church architecture, with the occasional set of photos from my European adventures thrown in.

Built in 1908 in the "Polish Cathedral Style," it still serves the Polish-American community that settled in Port Richmond. There is still one Mass each...
