Who we are
In 1901, a group of Polish immigrants felt the need of having a home for their place of worship in their own language. Initially, they needed to travel to Wilkes-Barre or Plymouth to worship in the Polish language. A group of men petitioned Bishop Hoban and on October 16, 1901, the feast day of St. Hedwig, the parish was established. A one story basement structure was built on Zerby Avenue and services were held there until the church was completed in 1909. Pastors assigned to the parish were: Father Lipinski (1901), Father Smelsz (1913), Father Gryczka (1916), Father Kopicki (1957), Father Losienieckl (1958), Father Kozlowski (1965), Father Papka (1980), and Father Zavacki (1987).
A school was built and contained a bowling alley and a library. The rectory was built on Zerby Avenue and the cemetery was founded in Larksville. The church was renovated after Vatican II and again in 1992. In pre-WWII years, the parish grew to 1600 families. After the war, the young people began to move away to find better jobs. St. Hedwig started to become an aging parish, with less than 400 families. In 1926, there were 250 children in the First Holy Communion Class; in 2007, there were 8 children. As many as 4 priests were assigned to the parish at one time. Father Zavacki served the parish as pastor for 20 years until his retirement in 2007. At that time, the parish was consolidated with St. Ignatius Church. The buildings were bought by Catholic Social Services to provide residences for disabled veterans of the United States Armed Forces.
On February 19, 2023 St Hedwig's Catholic Church was destroyed by a devastating fire.

Inspire my thoughts
Holy Spirit of God, visit now this soul of mine, and tarry within it until the eventide. Inspire all my thoughts. Pervade all my imaginations. Suggest all my decisions. Lodge in my soul's most inward citadel, and order all my doings. Be with me in silence and in my speech, in my haste and in my leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and the weariness of the evening. Give me grace at all times to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.
