St. Casimir Parish - designated for Polish immigrants at Yonkers, New York, was founded in 1900. This is one of the few remaining ethnically Polish-American parishes in the Archdiocese of New York.
St. Casimir is now home to several religious and youth organizations. Polish sunday school and a newly created charity organization play an important role in the life of the Parish.
The Parish has been given to Pauline by Cardinal John O'Connor.
History
Polish-American Catholicism first began to spread to Yonkers with the second ethnic transition out of the Bronx in the mid-1880s. When Fr. Joseph Dworzak arrived in January 1903, St. Casimir quickly transformed itself into a "thriving parish and Fr. Joseph Dworzak himself became one of the most important figures in the Yonkers Polish-American community."
