Around the PNCC
Capturing history:
Holy Spirit Parish in Little Falls, NY is reaching out to parishioners past and present for photos of events in the Parish’s history. If you have any photos you can contact Fr. Rafal at 315-823-0793. He will scan them in and promptly return them to you.
Celebrating their Patronal Feast Day:
St. Francis Parish in East Meadow, NY celebrated its Patronal Feast with a weekend full of events and capped by a Fall Dinner.
Beautiful old photos: hooray for Polish-American conservatism. Just like Roman parishes of the period but seemingly with a homier feel (part of the PNCC’s appeal even today?).
I think even today. Because PNCC parishes are naturally smaller everyone tends to pull together and to share more than just a Sunday service. People make real connections that extend beyond Sunday. I personally think that a lot gets lost in suburban mega-parishes where folks just drive-in, drive-out. Plus, it’s hard not to have a home like feel when you’re elbows deep in making goŁąbki.
