Polish pride was on full display at the Co-Cathedral of St. Joseph on Sunday, Oct. 20, where dozens of faithful from across Brooklyn and Queens gathered for a special Mass celebrating Polish heritage.
The Mass, a reflection of the deep cultural roots of the Polish-American community, was led by Polish Archbishop Adrian Galbas.
In his homily, Archbishop Galbas spoke to the Polish-American faithful about the importance of embracing their heritage, while Brooklyn Bishop Robert Brennan, who co-celebrated the Mass, encouraged young attendees to hold onto both their culture and their faith.
At the conclusion of the Mass, the young Polish congregants expressed their gratitude by presenting the bishops with flowers.
