The Seven Sacraments
The seven sacraments are efficacious signs of grace, instituted by Christ and entrusted to the Church, by which divine life is dispensed to us. The visible rites by which the sacraments are celebrated signify and make present the graces proper to each sacrament. They bear fruit in those who receive them with the required dispositions.
These seven signs of Jesus that the Church dispenses convey the free gift of sanctifying grace to the recipient. The amount of grace given is infinite; The amount of grace received depends on the state of our soul. The purer our soul, the more sanctifying grace gets through.
Holy Orders
As people of God, we all share in the priesthood of Christ, and so the Church speaks meaningfully of "the priesthood of all believers." Each of us is to exercise our priesthood by strengthening and serving one another. Within the Church there are many means of service. One way of service stands out as a sacrament, namely Holy Orders, which ordains the recipient to the office of bishop, priest or deacon.
The priest's special calling is first and foremost to preach the Good News of God's love and humanity. In offering himself as a candidate for the priesthood, he must give evidence of wisdom and spiritual maturity, as he is called to lead the Christian community with patience and kindness. The priest celebrates Mass and administers the Sacraments, taking an active role in offering Christ's gift of Himself.
From earliest times, deacons have had a special place in the pastoral work of the Church, preaching, ministering at baptisms and weddings, and caring for the poor and hungry on behalf of the whole Church.
Nowadays, married men are more and more frequently ordained to the diaconate, where they have a strong role in assisting priests and bishops and serving the people.
Finally, bishops are chosen and ordained to supervise and lead priests and deacons, to unify, bless and teach the people and act as a sign of Christ in the local church and community.

AThe main goal of our Polish School of St. Stanisław Kostka in Wallington, is to instill and develop the Polish spirit in our students by learning the Polish language, history and geography of Poland and cultivating Polish traditions and customs.
By awakening students' interest in the homeland of their parents and grandparents, we spark in them love and a sense of belonging to Poland. In this way, with greater enthusiasm and joy, they assimilate the Polish language and knowledge about this country, distant to them. Our students are proud of their Polishness! The school's activity is not limited to teaching.
Our students also have the opportunity to get to know Poland and its culture and traditions through various school celebrations woven into lessons, e.g. patriotic academies, St. Andrew's Day, Nativity Clubs, Easter customs, Mother's Day etc. We employ teachers with experience acquired both in Poland and the USA to work with children and young people. We operate under the patronage of the Catholic University of Lublin st. John Paul II.
