"There is one body and one Spirit - just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call - one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."
Ephesians 4: 4-6
The history of The National Shrine of The Divine Mercy, located on Eden Hill in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, is deeply tied to St. Stanislaus Kostka Church, now part of St. John Paul II Parish. We are blessed to have this connection with the Marians and value its significance.
"In the fall of 1943, Fr. Joseph Luniewski, superior of the Marian House in Washington, D.C., sent a young priest, Fr. Walter Pelczynski, MIC, a native of Adams, Massachusetts, to find a residence suitable for a novitiate or home for those preparing for the religious life. With the help of the pastor of St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Adams, and with the assistance of family members and friends, the Marians purchased Eden Hill on November 24, 1943." - The Marian Fathers
