Saint Brother Albert Chmielowski Polish Mission

A J

I wouldn't call this an ACTIVE polish church. I came on sunday at 9 am for the ENGLISH session with questions on how to navigate (yes I checked the website...it is 2021). There were just very judgemental elderly ladies speaking polish...not welcoming at all. It was a great reminder of why my family was not active in the church. I remember this church when it was built. Services for my dad who was the reason why I was born and raised in the U.S. (and sadly the reason why I am an adult with barely any connections to family)was held here in 2003. I went to the polish school on the weekends as a kid. They still only serve polish lessons for children...having no regard to the fact there are NO resources for adults to practice and improve their polish (had to find my own resources online). They advertise they serve the polish diaspora....which to me is a complete lie. The amount truly lost polish diaspora is unfathomable. Especially with this church being located in one of the biggest DOPE capitols in the country. Yes dope as is in drugs and drug addicts that churches provide a path to healing from. A lot of them forced to leave their identities given to todays political climate. The crazy old polish ladies are NOT (anyone that grew up in a polish community know what I am talking about) diaspora. Sadly, unless I am proven wrong I will have to fly or drive far out of town to maybe connect. Please wake up to the fact that the polish community ABANDONED its own. I

Amazing! Of all the churches I've attended this is the only one where you can truly feel the holy atmosphere during the mass.
