From organizer Andy Golebiowski on Facebook:

Polish 40 Days of Christmas continued on January 15 at the St. Stan’s Social Center in Buffalo. In this video, Fr. Czesław Krysa gets the crowd going with the Polish Christmas Carol-Kolęda “Dzisaj w Betlejem” (Today in Bethlehem).

Here is a WIVB story on the event.

Father Anzelm sent me this video he put together of footage he shot of while he was in Buffalo last week to celebrate the Mass where Corpus Christi Church’s Disputa was rededicated.

It is wonderful!

Twenty-six years ago, when Sister Mary Johnice Rzadkiewicz was studying at a Philadelphia seminary, Mother Teresa came to town, and the two women sat at the same lunch table.

“Mother, do you think I could come to Calcutta?” Sister Mary Johnice asked. “I want to learn how to work with the poor.”

“She looked at me and said, ‘Little sister, go back to your neighborhood. Find your Calcutta there.’”
