Polish Club of San Francisco 3.53

The Polish Club (Dom Polski) in San Francisco’s Mission District (3040 22nd Street) boasts three member societies, which held their first joint meeting in 1925. The mission of the Polish Club is to serve as a center for the propagation of Polish culture, art, language and community. The Club building (a former Baptist Church) was acquired in 1926 and is used today for Polish cultural events. Łowiczanie Polish Folk Ensemble of San Franciso holds weekly dance classes at the Polish Club on Tuesday evenings.

The Polish Society of California/PNA Lodge 7 founded in San Francisco by K. Bielawski and R.K. Piotrowski in 1863 to support Poland's 1863 Uprising celebrated its 150th Anniversary in 2013. The Polish Literary and Dramatic Circle arranges recitals, lectures, film screenings and book-club discussions to promote the interests of its members in Polish literature, drama and the other arts. The mission of the St. Stanislaus Benevolent Society is to give support to Polish Catholic religious endeavors.
