St. Casimir Parish was a Roman Catholic parish designated for Polish immigrants in New Bedford, Massachusetts, United States.
Founded in 1927, it was one of the Polish-American Roman Catholic parishes in New England in the Diocese of Fall River. The parish closed in 2000 upon the retirement of its longtime pastor, Father Henry Kropiwnicki.[1] After remaining vacant for several years, in 2008 the former church building was purchased by the Irmandade do Divino Espirito Santo do Pico, a Portuguese-American religious and cultural organization, for use as a social club.[2]
