Summary: In 1833, Chicago gained the status of a town and four years later it was incorporated as a city with a population of over 4,000 inhabitants. Both the origins of the Polish diaspora in the city as well as the history of St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish (since 1867) are exemplified by articles published in "Dziennik Chicagoski". Originally, the consolidation efforts initiated by the first Polish settlers were not recognized by the local community. A major change was prompted by the arrival of Fr. Leopold Moczygemba in 1864 and then continued by Fr. Franciszek Szulak, who also invited Fr. Józef Juszkiewicz from Brazil. However, due to various disagreements within the St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish, Fr. Juszkiewicz resigned and was replaced by the Resurrectionists. Fr. Adolf Bakanowski became the first pastor in July 1870, and later followed by Fr. Jan Wołłowski, Fr. Feliks Zwiardowski, and Fr. Szymon Wieczorek. On September 18, 1874, the parish of St. Stanislaus Kostka was taken over by Fr. Wincenty Michał Barzyński, who inherited "a wooden church, a small wooden rectory and around 400 or 500 Polish families". During his reign, St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish became the largest parish in the world, reaching over 40 thousand believers in 1892, and in the early years of the twentieth century - 50 thousand. The impact of the pastor, his associates and the whole parish was enormous, not limited to pastoral care and sacramental life. Fr. Barzyński was the founder of more than 20 other parishes in Chicago and its suburbs and a great number of other religious, educational, cultural and social organizations. In Chicago alone, he built a new church, rectory, school, established a parish bank, orphanage, hospital and printing house. The St. Stanislaus Kostka Parish hosted an eight-grade elementary operating school under state law, two secondary schools (for male and female students), a trade school and a technical secondary school. Despite sincere efforts, he was unable to establish a private university.

In 1898, Fr. Barzyński became the first provincial superior of the Congregation of the Resurrection in the United States and brought the Sisters of the Holy Family of Nazareth to America. In 1887, he created the Polish Publishing Company and a weekly "Wiara i Ojczyzna". He was also a chief editor of the daily "Dziennik Chicagoski" between 1890 and 1899 (the paper appeared until 1970), and the founder of the oldest Polish secondary school in the United States, namely St. Stanislaus College in Chicago (present-day Weber High School), established in 1890, as well as the initiator of a new Polish-American Congregation of Franciscan Sisters of Blessed Kinga aimed at running orphanages. He organized a number of elementary schools and charitable institutions, about 50 ecclesiastical fraternities, and many Polish associations, including the Polish League and the Polish Roman Catholic Association.

Szczęsny Zahajkiewicz summed up the achievements of nearly fifty years of parish-based functioning of the local Polish diaspora with a brief statement: "in the city of Chicago alone there are over 20 priests; an equal number of doctors; attorneys - 30; editors - 10; teachers - 18; pharmacists - 20; notaries - 20; builders - 20; judges - 1; city clerks, who receive salaries from 1 to 3 thousand dollars - over 20; and about 50,000 homeowners and tradesmen - as well as businessmen on a larger or smaller scale. The rest is made up of laborers working in various factories and trades".
