These are pictures taken this morning during and after 11 am Mass at Saint Adalbert’s celebrating the the solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.

Father Ted Bocianowski gave a wonderful homily on peace.  The church as usual looked incredible.

A nice way to celebrate the New Year!

A resolution suggestion for all…make an effort to support Saint Adalbert’s in 2009…even if it is only by attending mass.

God Bless & thanks to all the Saint Adalbert’s parishioners and Father Ted…all are always very welcoming to me and my family when we attend Mass there. 

Happy New Year to all!

In 1886 a group of Polish emigrants applied to the Bishop, Rt. Rev.Stephen Ryan and received his approval to build a church on Stanislaus Street. A small frame building was erected by the parishioners themselves. A tract of land comprising of 27 lots was bought. The church called “A LITTLE CHAPEL” was used for both church services and as a school. The first pastor, Rev. A Klawiter said Mass on September 12, 1886. Daily the number of Catholics of Polish descent grew and it became necessary to build a larger church. On September 8, 1886 ground was broken for a new combination church-school building.
