St. Mary Magdalene and St. Stanislaus Basilica in Szczepanów
św. Stanisława, 32-823 Szczepanów
Originally, the church in Szczepanów was erected in 1470, on the initiative of Jan Długosz, the parish priest at that time. The present church was built in 1911 – 1914 in the neo-Gothic style. I was made of brick and it was non-plastered. During the war it was reconstructed. In 2003, the shrine was declared a basilica. Its patrons saints are St. Stanislaus and Mary Magdalene. St. Stanislaus is a symbol of two kinds of deep love: the love of God and His Law, and the love of Poland, still taking its shape at that time. He died because of his activity. By his thoughtful and determined admonishing, he tried to influence the Polish ruler. Throughout the ages he was considered as a symbol of resistance to tyranny. As a moral authority, he is an example of mercy, modesty, diligence and industriousness.
