Polish Mass celebrated at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Charlotte
CHARLOTTE — A Polish Mass in honor of Our Lady of Czestochowa was offered Saturday, Aug. 25, at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Charlotte, celebrated by Conventual Franciscan Father Jacek Leszczynski and assisted by Deacon James Witulski.
Deacon Witulski, and his wife Mary Witulski, planned and organized this first Polish Mass at the Charlotte church.
The Mass included traditional Polish hymns, and children wore native Polish attire to honor Mary. About 225 people came from all over the diocese -- and beyond -- to attend the Polish Mass.
A reception followed in Aquinas Hall, hosted by the Polish community, featuring Polish food.
