St. Stanislaus Kostka Church is a Catholic mission church designated for Polish immigrants in Adams, Massachusetts.[1]

Founded in December 1902, it is one of the Polish-American Catholic parishes in New England in the Diocese of Springfield in Massachusetts. On January 1, 2009, was temporarily closed by Bishop Timothy A. McDonnell. After 1,150 days of parishioners sitting in vigil, it was announced on February 18, 2012, that the church would reopen on Palm Sunday (April 1) 2012.

The church offers Sunday Mass, all Holy Days of Obligation, weddings, funerals, and baptisms. It now serves as a mission church of St. John Paul II Parish in Adams.[2]
