a Holy Sacrament of Baptism for my husband's grandmother from that church

they have any more info on that family.

Hello there Sarah,

Don't know alot about the church but it was a Catholic Church located on the
North Side of Kankakee and was predominently a "Polish" Church. The
building
is still there but I think they merged with St Teresa's a number of years
ago. You may want to Check with St Teresa's Catholic Church, Kankakee.
They
may be able to help you.

Good luck

I found a few more things on St Stans.... It was formed in 1900 and seperated
from the German (St Mary's) Catholic Church., They built a school by 1906.
They were definetly known as the Polish Catholic Church.

Hope this helps.
