Seeing a large turnout for the parish’s last Mass would be great. It has been a fixture in the neighborhood since 1892.

This is so very sad. I grew up in Polonia and left in 1964. It was a vibrant community which provided all of our needs. The churches were a vital presence. I remember that the chuches weren’t locked and we were able to go in and pray anytime. They were a place to find peace and quiet and closeness to our Father. A Safehaven from a busy world.
What will become of those beautiful buildings and the contents? The beautiful artwork, stained glass etc.?
Transfiguration had a terrible ending.
The backbone of a community is broken.
God bless us all.
Will miss St Jon Kanty.I got married there in June of 1992 but than we moved to Lancaster N Y. The church is so beautiful compared to the ones they build now. My mother and grandmother got married there too. Will miss the place.
