Dear Friends,

We received, by donation, a new large sign that can be installed at our cemetery entrance and/or Pulaski Park. We are asking for your help with the design and lettering. All Church information should be advertised, including phone contacts.

If someone can help, or know of anyone that can help us, please contact the Parish Committee. It will be greatly appreciated.

The Polish National Union and Our Church – A Partnership in Service and Love

Events, Parish Life, PNCC /

On the fourth Sunday of September our Church offers prayers for our sister organization, the Polish National Union of America. Our Church under the direction of Bishop Hodur organized the PNU in 1908 when members of our Church were denied insurance coverage because they were in the PNCC. Over the years the PNU has contributed millions of dollars for our PNCC and her many programs and endeavors. Did you know that our General Synod passed the following resolution: “It shall be the moral obligation of the clergy and the laity of the PNCC to belong to the Polish National Union of America” (PNCC Constitution, page 65)?

Today the PNU needs the support of all PNCC members to continue the excellent fraternal benefits they have been providing for more than a century. For additional information on the life insurance and annuity products offered by the PNU please call them at (800) 724-6352 or visit their website.

This October – Celebrating Polish American Heritage Month and all American Workers

Events, Parish Life, PNCC /

This October we will celebrate Polish American Heritage Month – A national celebration of Polish history, culture and pride in cooperation with the Polish American Congress and Polonia across America

HeritageMonthPoster_small

Since 1608, when the first Polish settlers arrived at Jamestown, VA, Polish people have been an important part of America’s history and culture. In 2013, Polish Americans will mark the 32nd Anniversary of the founding of Polish American Heritage Month, an event, which began in Philadelphia, PA, and became a national celebration of Polish history, culture and pride.

During 2013, Poles will also mark the 405th Anniversary of the First Polish Settlers who were among the first skilled workers in America. We, therefore, will take this opportunity to salute all American workers and urge people to purchase the products and services offered by American workers. Polish Americans will also mark the 234th Anniversary of the death of General Casimir Pulaski, Father of the American Cavalry.

Information about ways to celebrate Polish American Heritage Month can be obtained by visiting the Polish American Heritage Month Committee’s website. You will find a list of “Things To Do During Polish American Heritage Month”, the 2013 coloring contest artwork for schools, and Heritage Month posters that can be downloaded and printed. Copies of the coloring contest artwork can also be obtained by calling the Heritage Month Committee, Monday through Friday between 9 A.M. and 5 P.M. at 215-922-1700.

For additional information about these historic events and Polish and Polish American history, visit the Polish American Cultural Center Museum website.

Bishop Bernard’s Visit and Thank You

Events, Parish Life, PNCC, St. Valentine /

SAMSUNG

Last Sunday, July 7th, we had the pleasure of our Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Bernard Nowicki visiting with us. Bishop Bernard celebrated a very uplifting and beautiful Holy Mass. His homily and and his spiritual manner were refreshing and hopeful.

After Holy Mass, Bishop Bernard shared a light brunch with us and took the time to express his feelings and extend his gratitude for all our hard work and accomplishments.

The Bishop plans to visit us again in near future. We look forward to next visit.

This week we received a beautiful note from Bishop Bernard:

Dear Kris and Parishioners of St. Valentine’s Parish,

I just today received your generous gift for last week’s visit. It was mailed to the national Church Center where the Prime Bishop is located. He had it mailed to me here at the residence,

Thank you for your kindness and all the good work all of you are accomplishing and planning for God’s kingdom and our beloved Church.

Bishop Bernard
