Polish Constitution

Mass to commemorate Polish Constitution Day at Saint Stan’s

Jan Matejko's 9x15 ft painting executed on the centenary of the passage of the Constitution shows Stanisław August Poniatowski, King of Poland, being bourn in triumph from the Royal Palace, seen in the background where the Constitution had just been passed, to Warsaw's St. John's Cathedral. The painting hangs in the National Museum in Warsaw.

A mass and program will be held on Sunday May 2, 2010 at noon at St. Stanislaus Church with SPK veterans to commemorate Polish Constitution Day that falls on May 3.  A reception will follow in Marian Hall.

The Constitution of May 3, 1791 was Europe’s first and the world’s second modern constitution, following the 1788 ratification of the United States Constitution. [read more about Polish Constitution here]

The Broadway Market is looking to connect with families, individuals and groups to become plot owners of the first-ever Broadway Market Roof Garden. The Market will provide 16′ to 25′ square foot container gardens, compost, soil and water, as well as educational workshops on seed starting, when and what to plant, testing soil, natural fertilizers, integrated pest management, extending the growing season, and pickling and canning.

Owners will also have the option to sell their harvest at The Broadway Market’s new Farmers’ Market coming on Sundays starting May 23rd.

Mass @ Corpus Christi Sunday to coincide with funeral of Polish President

Corpus Christi Church, located at 199 Clark St. in Buffalo, will celebrate a special Mass on Sunday, April 18 at 8:00a.m. in memory of Polish President Lech Kaczynski, First Lady Maria Kaczynska and 94 other Polish top ranking military, religious leaders and distinguished citizens who perished in an air crash of devastating proportions on April 10 . The disaster was made even more tragic since the purpose of the delegation’s ill-fated flight was to attend the 70th anniversary observances of the Katyn Forest massacres, in which more than 21,000 Polish prisoners were executed by Russian soldiers. The time of the liturgy is planned to coincide with the Polish President’s funeral in Krakow, taking into account the six hour time difference between the Polish city and Buffalo. Corpus Christi arranged a similar Mass in 2005, that was held simultaneous to Pope John Paul II’s memorial service in Rome, Italy.
