Friends of St. Stan's

Adams, MA 01220
Mission Statement
Our mission is to ensure that the Catholic Church survives and thrives in Adams. We are committed to obtaining and publicly sharing accurate information about the parishes in Adams in an effort to encourage the Springfield Diocese to formulate a plan that will guarantee a Catholic church and school remain open in Adams for many years to come. We fear the current plan put forward by the Springfield Diocese will result in the closure of all churches in Adams in a few years. We conduct ourselves in a spirit of fellowship and empathy with all our brothers and sisters in Christ and invite them to examine the facts and join with us in our effort.
