Dear Ladies of the Southampton Polish American Society and our Volunteers,

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks for the truly wonderful job you did in organizing and hosting the Celebration of Our Lady Queen of Poland. Your dedication and tireless efforts in the weeks leading up to the event were evident in every detail, making the celebration a tremendous success.

We are also deeply grateful to those who generously contributed their time and resources. Thank you to Hampton Coffee, Catena’s, Agnes Malczewski Catering, and Mitzi, our in-house baker extraordinaire, for your delicious offerings. Special thanks to James Fry for donating and picking up the coffee, to Hampton Laundry for their support and to Sister Kathy for allowing us to use her beautiful school for the dinner. 

Thank you to Rev. Krzysztof Drybka for coming to Our Lady of Poland to celebrate the Mass, as well all the other priests who concelebrated. Thank you to our ushers, altar servers, our lector, Barbara Gredysa, our cantor, Maggie Marcincuk and our organist, Piotr Soroka. We are grateful to Peter Nikolich from the Knight of Columbus, and all our parishioners and friends who attended the Mass and the dinner afterwards. 

We sincerely appreciate Kasia Talik and Jadwiga Korzcak for stepping in to assist with food setup and cleanup, and Jayne Jaworska  for the beautiful flower arrangements that adorned each table—your work added such elegance, and it is lovely to know the flowers can now be enjoyed in the church. We would also like to thank Maggie Marcincuk for helping us deliver dinner to a few of our parishioners.

A warm thank you to one of our newest volunteers, Rhea Daniels, and her husband Jim, for jumping in to help with cleanup—what a record-breaking effort that was!

We would not have been able to coordinate and execute such a beautiful event without the support of Erika Minogue, our wonderful office manager, and Father Dariusz. Your guidance and dedication mean so much.

Thank you all once again for your hard work, commitment, and care. Your efforts brought our community together in a truly meaningful and memorable way.

With sincere gratitude,

The Southampton Polish American Society

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.
