Our Lady of Czestochowa Roman Catholic Church, Massachusetts, United States

4.5 (5 reviews) Spent Ranking #6 in Turners Falls Religious Sites

It would have been a mistake if we had not gone...

My husband, teenage daughter and I decided to go to a weekday Mass at this beautiful church named after the famous Black Madonna icon in Poland. Our expectations were exceeded in many ways. The church itself is traditionally beautiful, but with icons and Polish saints, it had the feel of an Orthodox church as well. For a mid-week Mass, it was well-attended, and not just with senior folks. The priest, Fr Di Mascola had energy, verve and was inspiring and to the point. He was assisted by 12 altar servers, ranging from elementary school kids, middle school and high school kids too. What a vibrant church this is!!! Recommend checking out when there will be a service (even for non-Catholics) and go! You will be visually and spiritually rewarded!

    Beautiful stained glass, interesting visit
    So happy to see that a European church is still thriving with native language hymns and services. I'm not Polish, but I've traveled there and have Polish friends so it was fun to make this stop and see the usual icons (JP II, Kolbe, Faustina). The stained glass is beautiful, and the display of relics and use of real candles and incense are heartwarming to anyone who enjoys the old-fashioned churches. Also enjoyed the small grotto to St. Kateri outside the church - never knew that she was a Mohawk and from this area.

    Classic Polish church
    This is a traditional Polish church, old school. Very little parking, tucked away on a side street. It's a beautiful church and great congregation.
