MODESTO — St. Stanislaus Catholic Church has made a memorable mark on the Modesto landscape with an $18 million construction project that now affords the congregation the luxury of attending services in a church rather than the nearby school gym. St. Stanislaus was founded as a parish in 1881, and the church prior to the renovation was completed in 1913 and held 388 people, a space much too small for St. Stanislaus’ vast congregation. The new building, located at 1200 Maze Blvd. in Modesto, holds 1,326 people and emblemizes the Catholic faith in its architecture.“You cannot build a Catholic church without incorporating Catholic values into the fabric of the building.
