Wejherowo Deanery

The Wejherowo Deanery, part of the Gdańsk Archdiocese, was established on January 3, 1895, and covers the area of both the municipality and the city of Wejherowo. Its current dean is Monsignor Daniel Nowak, the parish priest of the Christ the King and Blessed Alicja Kotowska Parish. The deanery consists of 10 parishes, each with its own unique architecture and history. Among the churches are the Parish of St. Leo the Great and the Parish of the Holy Trinity, both of which have subsidiary churches, such as the Church of St. Stanislaus Kostka in Wejherowo. Notable sites include the Chapel of St. Christopher in Sopieszyn and the cemetery Chapel of the Risen Christ, located in Wejherowo on Father Edmund Roszczynialski Street. The Wejherowo Deanery is surrounded by other deaneries, such as Gdynia Chylonia, Kielno, Luzino, Puck, Reda, and Żarnowiec, highlighting the region's significance within the Catholic Archdiocese. This area is not only a place of religious practice but also an important cultural hub, blending tradition with modernity. Wejherowo is known for its rich history, and its churches and chapels bear witness to diverse architectural styles and heritage that have endured for centuries. Interestingly, despite its relatively young age, the deanery has deep historical roots that reflect the transformations this part of Poland has undergone over the years.
