Christmas Party for Jesus

Events, Parish Life /

The annual Christmas Dinner was held last Sunday December 9, 2012. We enjoyed great attendance. We are thankful for the delicious and abundant festive food donated by Deacon David Gaydos and his wife Laurie, prepared by Edward and David Obssuth and their helpers.

The Sunday school students presented a program which invited the audience to participate in singing Christmas Carols. A special cake was made to honor the birth of Jesus. St. Nicholas came and distributed gifts to the precious children asking them in return to be good for another year.

We thank Renata Cyman who decorated the hall, Claire Centrella who with the help of Merry Sleece and ANS members organized 20 baskets of Tricky Tray. In addition to that, there was a 50/50 cash prize and ANS Basket of Cheer raffled. Our words of appreciation are addressed to those who helped to clean up after the event. A thank you is also extended to the parishioners who contributed desserts, sold raffles, and invited friends for last Sunday’s celebration. Merry Christmas!

Consecration of our new bishops

Events, PNCC /

See coverage and a video of the consecration of Bishops Nowicki and Bilinski at: New Bishops Installed in Polish National Catholic Church

Scranton, Lackawanna County – Friday, [September 14, 2012] was a big day for the Polish National Catholic Church.

A mass to officially install two new bishops, including the one who will serve northeastern Pennsylvania, got underway late Friday afternoon in Scranton.

The mass began at 3:30 PM at Saint Stanislaus, Bishop and Martyr Cathedral in South Scranton.

The two bishops who will now serve their communities are Bishop Stanley Bilinski and Bishop Bernard Nowicki.

“I can’t believe the people who have come around from so far away and old friends from close places are an absolute delight,” Bishop Nowicki said.

Bishop Nowicki will serve the Polish National Catholic Church’s largest diocese, which includes Scranton. It stretches from New York to Washington, D.C.

Bishop Bilinski will be based in Chicago and will serve the church’s western diocese.

“We each bring unique gifts to the table and to understand that we can help the church along in its various needs, especially in this day and age,” Bishop Bilinski said.

Both of the new bishops, who were elected in June, say this is an exciting time for the Polish National Catholic Church. The bishops point to a new Prime Bishop in the church and a lot of new leadership that will drive them forward.

“We have our ideas, we have senses of where we want to go and certainly how we want to work together and that’s already been born out in the last few days,” Bishop Nowicki said…

The New York-New Jersey Seniorate ANS Convention was visited by our newly ordained Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Bernard Nowicki and his wife Barbara. The Bishop noted that he is looking forward to working with the other Bishops to energize our churches and help us to feel more connected.

We thank all the members of ANS especially Nelly Cabrejos, Renata Cyman, Alice Kriskewic, Penni Lazor, Nancy Mupo, Helen Skawinski, and Elaine Rotsaert, who devoted so much time and energy to hosting the convention. They prepared a delicious meal, the hall was decorated and the Church was so colorful with the addition of mums, thank you Penni. Everyone put in a lot of time to make this possible. We thank Judy Lamping for the hours that she volunteered so that the members could be present at the meeting and not worry about the kitchen.

The next meeting of the parish ANS will be on October 14th. We are trying to plan a bus trip for the near future.
