ST. CASIMIR’S POLISH CHURCH:  A note of congratulations has been sent to our contacts at St. Casimir’s Polish Church in Cleveland, Ohio.  The parishioners successfully appealed the closure of their church to the Vatican, and the emotional first Mass of the re-opened historic church was held last Sunday.  Kongratulujemy i szczesc Boze!
