(Andrew Golebiowski – Facebook) Scenes from the Opłatek and Kolęda held Jan. 17 at St. Stan’s. Over 200 people shared opłatek, sang Polish Christmas Carols led by Fr. Czesław Krysa and the Polish Heritage Dancers organized by the Polish Legacy Project-WWII. The Project’s Mission includes the recording of stories of Polish WWII survivors who settled in WNY in order t…o share them with the wider community, as well as to continue celebrating Polish traditions. Part of that tradition includes getting together to as a community to sing kolędy during the Christmas season through January. The Opłatek was a multi-generational affair, in one case bringing four generations together at one table, headed by the eldest, Pani Zofia Miernik, a survivor of Nazi camps during WWII. Thank you to all who volunteered and attended !
