Our Sts. Peter and Paul Parish was organized in 1914 for Polish emigrants as the first truly and fully Polish Parish in the Milwaukee area. Americans with Polish roots founded our parish because they wanted to worship in their native Polish language and have a parish where their voices would matter and where Polish customs and patriotic events would be observed. In the beginning, Holy Mass and Sacraments were celebrated only in the Polish language. After years, Masses were celebrated in both Polish and English. Currently, we only have an English Mass, but we often sing Polish songs during the liturgy and follow Polish traditions.

We want our parish to be like a big family. We know each other, we pray for each other, and we work together for the good of our members, our parish, and our community.

Sts. Peter and Paul Parish is part of the Polish National Catholic Church (PNCC). All Sacraments of the Polish National Catholic Church are recognized as valid by the Roman Catholic Church (RC). Our Bishops are successors of the Apostles. Members of the PNCC are allowed to receive Communion at RC. Likewise, members of RC and all Christians are allowed to receive Communion at PNCC.

What do we offer for our parishioners and guests?
