Fr. Mark Borkowski, Pastor, offers a prayer and wishes everyone Happy Valentine's Day.  He explained that 'Saint' Valentine was taken off the calendar by the Second Vatican Council and replaced by Saints Cyril and Methodius. He further mentioned that a Polish St. Valentine (Sw. Walenty) known in Galicia, Poland was venerated by the early members of the Sweetest Heart,
and is the subject of the enormous stained glass window (see below).



Thanks, Mary N. for coordinating this fine event, High Tea. tour of the church and Mass.









   

St. Valentine (Sw. Walenty in Polish) stained glass window was a gift of a venerating society that existed in the 1890's when the church was built.

As part of the tour and presentation, all the altar lights were turned on.
