The Suffield Polish Heritage Society welcomes anyone in Suffield and the surrounding area who is interested in learning about the Polish Culture and keeping it alive. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of each month from September through June at 10 a.m. Watch for announcements about meetings and other items of interest to Polish Americans on the Facebook group “Suffield Polish Heritage Society.”
The meeting on December 5 will be held at the Suffield Ambulance Center (205 Bridge Street.) With the help of the Felician Sisters from Enfield, we will sing Polish Christmas carols, Kolędy. The Sisters will also bring Opłatek, the Polish Christmas Wafer, used during the Christmas Eve celebration, Wigilia, and possibly some Kolędy CDs for sale at the meeting. This is always a “standing room only” event.
On January 2, Sara Zak will repeat a presentation recently given to the Suffield Historical Society. Using Federal Census records from 1900 to 1930 and her Zak-Kreczko family genealogy she will describe the evolution of the Polish community in Suffield.
All are welcome to attend
