Polish Heritage Society Meeting

Print More

It was standing room only at the April meeting of the Polish Heritage Society (PHS)! Pat Cosma arranged to have Susan Urban, a Polish folk artist from West Springfield, talk about and demonstrate “wyncinaki”—Polish paper cutting. Then she coached attendees through the process of making one of their own. The PHS hopes to have her back next year to demonstrate “pisanki”—decorated Easter eggs.

The May meeting of the PHS will be held on May 2 at 10 a.m. at the Ambulance Center. Jim Turek will present some recently discovered historical information about St. Joseph’s Church which was established by, and for, the Polish Catholic community in Suffield in 1916. The church was merged into The Sacred Heart Parish in 2017 but is still used for Masses and special services such as Holy Days, Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals.
