History of Our Saviour's Parish   

       The Parish of Our Saviour of the Polish National Catholic Church in Woonsocket, RI, was organized as a result of a group of people who wanted to find within this church a freedom of conscience, true teaching and spirit of the Master of Nazareth, deep faith in Divine Providence and an unyielding love of truth, equality and justice, a church dedicated to the service of God's Kingdom and the salvation of mankind.

       On December 2, 1923, Mrs. J. Chrzaszcz, M. Chomka, W. Ostrowski and A. Pluta sought the aid of Bishop-elect Valentine Gawrychowski of Central Falls, RI, to organize the parish.  Among its honorable organizers, in addition to the above mentioned, are the Mrs. J.Dobrowolski, L. Furman, F. Sobota, A. Roszkowski, L. Sambor and W. Wnek.
 
        The first pastor to be assigned to the newly organized parish was the Rt. Rev. Valentine Gawrychowski, and on March 2, 1924, the first Mass was celebrated in the Methodist Church on 17 Federal St, Woonsocket, RI.
