“IMIENINY” (NAME DAYS) FOR THE COMING WEEK. Help to maintain a longstanding Polish Catholic tradition by acknowledging relatives, friends, and colleagues who are celebrating their “name day,” corresponding with the feast day of a saint of the same name.  Where there is more than one saint of the same name who has been assigned a day, your “name day” is the one closest to your birthday. It is customary in the Polish tradition to acknowledge the name day of a relative or friend:
November 10: Andrzej, Lena, Leon, Ludomir, Stefan
November 11: Anastazja, Bartłomiej, Maciej, Marcin, Spycisław, Teodor
November 12: Jonasz, Krystyn, Marcin, Renata, Witold
November 13: Arkadiusz, Eugeniusz, Jan, Mikołaj, Stanisław
November 14: Aga, Agata, Damian, Elżbieta, Emil, Emiliusz, Józef, Judyta, Ścibor, Ścibora, Wszerad
November 15: Albert, Alfons, Artur, Gurias, Idalia, Józef, Leopold, Leopoldyna, Przybygniew, Roger
November 16: Edmund, Marek, Maria, Niedamir, Otomar, Paweł, Piotr

THANK YOU TO OUR VETERANS! May God bless you. We pray for the deceased veterans of St. Mary’s Polish Parish. In tribute to them the following is the refrain from Czerwone Maki na Monte Cassino – literally Red Poppies on Monte Cassino – by Feliks Konarski, which is almost like a Polish version of In Flanders Fields:
Czerwone maki na Monte Cassino
Zamiast rosy piły polską krew...
Po tych makach szedł żołnierz i ginął,
Lecz od śmierci silniejszy był gniew!
Przejdą lata i wieki przeminą,
Pozostaną ślady dawnych dni!..
I tylko maki na Monte Cassino
Czerwieńsze będą, bo z polskiej wzrosną krwi

There is still time to participate. There are some additional shoeboxes (and instruction pamphlets) at the back of the church, or if these run out please feel free to use regular shoeboxes. Thank you!

ROOF: The work continues, as does our fund-raising shingle campaign! We are very grateful for sponsorships of bundles of shingles ($25 per bundle), which can be in memory of loved ones. There are envelopes at the back of the church.  Thanks as well for reaching out to friends of the parish.

Please note that we are still fund-raising for the roof, and shingle sponsorships ($25 per bundle – which can be in memory of a loved one) -- are deeply appreciated.

PIEROGI SALE: Dates for pierogi making to be announced next week, with proceeds to the new roof. We will have a general invitation for volunteers and also an invitation to sponsor the purchase of an ingredient if you’re not able to assist on site. Thank you very much!

QUILT RAFFLE FOR OUR PARISH: A big thank you to Patsy Kiley for making the beautiful quilt. Tickets are at the back of the church ($1 each).

There will be a special presentation of a momento signed by the late Janusz Zurakowski, the famous Polish Canadian aviator who was the chief test pilot for the Avro Arrow.  He would have turned 100 this year.

Special visit to our church of Swiety Mikolaj (St. Nicholas) on Sunday, December 7 – more details to follow.

SWIĘTO NIEPODLEGŁOŚCI – NOVEMBER 11 -- A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE AND HOPE: November 11th – the day of the armistice ending World War I in 1918 -- is also the day when Poland became an independent country again after a long period of occupation. Some of the ancestors of our parishioners were involved in that struggle. As such, for people of Polish heritage, November 11th is a holiday of both remembrance and hope. For the 123 years preceding 1918, Poland had been partitioned between Russia, Austria-Hungary, and Germany/Prussia. Between 1918 and 1939, Poland maintained its independence. However, the beginning of World War II on September 1, 1939, saw the country invaded first by Germany and then by the Soviet Union. The first Chief of State of the post-1918 independent Poland was the legendary Józef Piłsudski. For many years his portrait graced our very own Polish Village Hall.   This old portrait was found during the recent renovations and is once again displayed in the hall (in the downstairs exhibit area).

Invitation: POLISH CONSULTATE’S RECEPTION FOR POLISH INDEPENDENCE DAY, INCLUDING SCREENING OF THE AWARD-WINNING FILM KATYN: University of King’s College, Alumni Hall, 3050 Cobourg Rd., Halifax, RSVP: polishconsulhalifax@gmail.com : 902-219-0408.

PROPERTY COMMITTEE CHAIR – Jim Campbell. If you notice any repair/upkeep issues, please feel free to contact Jim at 565-8924 (cell) or 562-5837 (home).

THE RENOVATED AND REFURBISHED POLISH VILLAGE HALL is a comfortable, well appointed, modernized venue for events large and small. Please consider renting the hall for your events. Please call 564-8494.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR ON-LINE “VIRTUAL TOUR” AND AN 8.5 MINUTE PARISH WELCOME VIDEO ON OUR WEBSITE:  www.stmaryspolishparish.ca
