Blonie Deanery

The Blonie Deanery, one of the 25 deaneries of the Archdiocese of Warsaw, comprises 12 parishes located within the West Warsaw County. These include both historic temples and modern churches, reflecting the architectural diversity of the region. The Parish of the Nativity of the Lord in Blonie boasts a rich history dating back to the Middle Ages, with a beautifully decorated interior. The Holy Trinity Church, also in Blonie, invites visitors to explore local religious traditions. The Parish of St. Maximilian Kolbe in Bramki is an example of modern architecture, symbolizing contemporary approaches to sacred art. Kampinos, home to the Parish of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is known for its picturesque landscapes and proximity to the Kampinos National Park, attracting both tourists and pilgrims. Other parishes, such as St. Apostles Peter and Paul in Kaski or St. Wojciech the Martyr in Płochocin, preserve both traditions and local character, often organizing cultural events that bring the community together. Niepokalanów, renowned for its Franciscan presence and the Sanctuary of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, is a destination for numerous pilgrimages. Its history is closely tied to the life of St. Maximilian Kolbe, adding cultural depth to the site. St. Bartholomew the Apostle in Pawłowice and the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Rokitno offer diverse forms of social and spiritual activities, strengthening local bonds. An interesting fact is the history of the church in Zawady, dedicated to St. Dorothy, the patron saint of gardeners, which attracts nature and agriculture enthusiasts. The parishes of the Blonie Deanery organize numerous cultural events, festivals, and retreats, fostering integration among residents and promoting tourism in this part of Masovia. Faced with increasing urbanization, the parishes strive to blend tradition with modernity to meet the expectations of the faithful while preserving their local character. The Blonie Deanery is thus a spiritual, historical, and cultural mosaic that attracts both residents and visitors from elsewhere.
