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 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
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 Monthâ€, 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.
