St. Stephen Catholic Church Cultural & Diversity Ministry to host "WIGILIA - A Polish Christmas Eve"

The Christmas Holiday is an ecclesiastical holiday revered in the heart of every Pole and Polish-American. It is steeped with traditions dating back for centuries, and is greeted every year with such anticipation, careful planning, and mystical symbolism that have become a celebration like no other. Set a side some time this holiday season to reflect on what this time of the year really means. Come to celebrate this holiday and join us for a review of Polish and Polish-American traditions, and the singing of Christmas songs featuring the talented voices of Emily Tworek-Helenbrook and Roxana Nowicki. Accompanying the guest singers will be the CrossBows and Amanda Cooley. Narration conducted by George Miecyjak.

Services are at 9:15 am and 11 am.

For additional information, please contact George Miecyjak (Program Coordinator).
