Parish Holds Elections

admin — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 03:42:19 +0000

Members of the Holy Spirit Polish National Catholic Church, PNCC, of Little Falls held their 84th annual parish meeting on Sunday January 30th. The parish was formed in 1926. In the PNCC, all members have a voice and a vote. The Church is fully Catholic yet democratically organized and controlled. Churches may not be closed without the consent of the members of the parish.

The first Parish Committee consisted of the following trustees; John Lolo, Henry Wiernicki, John Fortuna, Peter Wojcicki, Peter Mikus and Alexander Mikus.

The new committee, elected at the meeting, consists of Chairperson John Rogers, Vice-chair Teddie Colorito, Treasurer Francis Crandall, Financial Secretary Karen Filipski, Recording Secretary Janice Kupidlowski-Rogers and Directors Suzanne Bladek, Joan Crandall, Amy Brien, Tim Brien, Anita Dulak, Jimmy Filipski, Ron Hrobuchak, Gary Crandall, Jennifer Crandall and Ken Scherer.

The PNCC was organized in Scranton, PA in 1897. Some of the differences between the denomination and Roman Catholicism are that PNCC priests are allowed to marry, the use of birth control is a personal decision, and the PNCC is democratically organized.

Holy Mass is normally offered at the church on Sundays at 11 a.m. and on Saturdays at 4 p.m. in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 32 West Main Street in St. Johnsville.

Little Falls Canal Celebration

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 01:31:48 +0000

Members of our parish raised funds to support our work by selling Polish food during the 2010 Little Falls Canal Celebration. On Friday evening we sold kielbasa and kapusta sandwiches in front of Rick’s Style Inn, 580 Main St., Little Falls. On Saturday, August 14th residents of the city were lined up at the church on 618 E. Gansevoort St., to purchase homemade pierogi and other delicious treats. Around 1,400 pierogi were bought within four hours! The overwhelming response was greatly appreciated but resulted in the lack of food to continue the sale on Sunday as planned.

On Saturday September 18th we will be hosting our annual Polka Fest from 1 to 5 at the East Herkimer Fish and Game Club. Tony’s Polka Band will be playing. We will be serving a full menu of homemade Polish food. We will also have a golumbki sale in conjunction with the blessing of pets on Saturday, October 16th at the church.

People of every ethnicity and background are welcome at Holy Spirit. To learn more about the parish, and our democratic Catholic Church, please call Fr. Rafal at (315) 823-0793.

Holy Spirit Polka Festival Fun

admin — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 02:34:01 +0000

Members of the Holy Spirit Polish National Catholic Church, PNCC, of Little Falls held their annual Polka Fest on Saturday September 12th at the East Herkimer Fish and Game Club. Approximately 100 people enjoyed the music of Bill and Ed’s Polka Band and the delicious homemade Polish Food.

The dance is one of the major fund raisers for the tiny parish and the support of the community was greatly appreciated.

The Polish National Catholic Church is similiar to the Roman Catholic Church in certain respects but different in others. Some of the differences between the denominations are that the PNCC allows its clergy to marry and that the PNCC is a democratic Church where the people own the parish property, manage its finances, and determine its future.

Holy Mass is normally offered at the church on 615 E. Gansevoort St., Little Falls at 11 a.m. on Sunday in English. All are welcome regardless of of background or ethnicity. To learn more about the parish please call Fr. Dadello at 315-823-0793.
