St. Stanislaus Parish (Polish: Parafia św. Stanisława Biskupa i Męczennika w New Haven) - designated for Polish immigrants in New Haven, Connecticut, United States.
On February 2, 1896, Polish immigrants formed the Society of St. Stanislaus. On September 12, 1900, Fr. Stanislaus Musiel was appointed to New Haven. He celebrated the first Mass on September 16 at St. Boniface Germania Hall on Wooster St.
On December 28, 1901, St. Stanislaus was made a parish. Fr. Musiel bought property at the corner of Dwight and Edgewood Avenues and refurbished the building for use as a chapel. On January 1, 1904, the parish had passed to the care of the Polish Vincentian Fathers. Fr. George Glogowski C.M., bought a former Swedish Lutheran church on St. John St., which was dedicated as a Catholic church on October 23, 1904, by Bishop Michael Tierney.
