Fr. Janusz Lipski and the Parishioners of Our Lady of Poland wish to thank the Stockholders, Members and Directors; Helen Corrigan, Stan Glinka, John Grocki and Vincent Scerbinski of the Polish American Political Club for underwriting the entire cost of the 100th Jubilee Banquet at the Polish Hall on June 30th, 2018. We are most grateful for your extreme generosity.
Exactly 100 hundred years ago, on June 30, 1918, the first mass was celebrated by Rev. Aleksander Cizmowski in the Schwenk’s Arcade building in Southampton Village. Money was raised by 331 families and the St. Anthony’s Benevolent Society and soon ground was broken for a church to be constructed at our current day location of 35 Maple Street. The church was completed on Christmas Eve, 1918. At 6AM on Christmas Day, 1918 the first mass was said by Rev. Cizmowski in the new church.
Today, 100 years later, we celebrate and give thanks to our founders, many of whom are the grandparents of our current parishioners, for their courage and vision to build our beautiful church.
We thank Bishop Andrzej Zglejszewski for celebrating the 100th Anniversary Mass with us.
We are so grateful for all those who contributed to this day. Our parish would not be the special place that it is without our loyal and faithful parishioners who do so much for our church.
INSTALLATION OF FIRST CLASS RELIC OF POPE SAINT JOHN PAUL II
What a special day we had on May 5, 2019 when Most Reverend Richard Henning celebrated Mass with us in honor of Our Lady Queen of Poland and installed our first class relic of Pope Saint John Paul II, which we received from the Vatican at the request of Fr. Janusz, with the assistance of Bishop Barres. The relic was installed under the portrait of St. Pope John Paul II, which was painted for Our Lady of Poland and blessed by Bishop Brennan several years ago. We are most grateful to the Southampton Knights of Columbus for sponsoring this event.
