We are planning a Fall Festival for this September to celebrate our 156 years as a parish and, with God’s guidance, our ability to work through the very trying conditions that we faced this year. The activities that we are planning will be held in a safe and health conscious manner.
Friday, September 18 … Polish Platter Dinner served 4 – 7 pm or sold out.
….. Our Summerfest is famous in WNY for the top quality Polish Platter dinner that we sell. Sadly the pandemic forced us to cancel Summerfest this year. But we all still have to eat, so we decided that we need to bring this favorite to you anyway.
….. Every dinner includes Polish favorites like:
- Golumbki (stuffed cabbage roll)
- Kielbasa (Polish sausage both smoked and fresh)
- Pierogi (polish ravioli, one each of cheese and sauerkraut)
- Kapusta (sweet and sour cabbage}
- Polish Rye Bread with butter
***** 9/6/20 POLISH PLATTER DINNERS for Sep. 18 are SOLD OUT through pre-sales as of this afternoon. Thank you for your support!! *****
