Support Saint Louis Polonia!
Saint Louis Polonia, Inc. is a Missouri non-profit organization, whose purpose is promotion of the knowledge about the one-thousand-year-long history of Poland and its ethnic diversity and appreciation of the Polish contribution into the world’s culture.
Saint Louis Polonia subscribes to a way of thinking about Poland that is multicultural, diverse, inclusive, and pan-European. The historical Polish state embraced practices of civil rights, democracy, religious tolerance, and constitutional rule that today comprise universal global norms.
Polish national identity has been historically contested by diverse social and political actors. Saint Louis Polonia draws on a legacy of civic Polish identity that incorporates the traditional inhabitants of Polish historical lands: Poles, Jews, Ukrainians, Germans, Lithuanians, Belarusians, Ruthenians and other ethnic groups.
Our goal is to share our time, talent and resources to create a variety of educational, cultural and charitable initiatives in order to enrich the lives of our local communities and contribute to a better understanding among people of different ethnic backgrounds.
We are proud to be part of beautiful St. Louis – a city that was built and shaped by immigrants from many countries including Poland.
Our mission is to celebrate our heritage by creating opportunities that educate, inform and inspire. We strive to expand our own horizons and the minds of our children, friends, and families by keeping them informed of events that celebrate Polish art, culture, and history.
There are many ways to help our mission including financial support, volunteering at our events, performing research for projects and publications and by participation in our events. Your generous support will allow us to do deliver the very best.
