Mr. Anthony Trzaska along with his cousin Antoinette Chwastyk Wills have been planning a large 3 day family reunion for over a year. The reunion will take place from June 14th through 16th. This reunion involves the Szczepanski, Sawicz, Chwastyk, and Trzaska families, all of which are interconnected and whose roots are in St. Valentine’s Polish National Catholic Church since it was founded in 1912.
During the afternoon of Saturday, June 15th the families will gather to visit the graves of family members interred in St. Valentine’s cemetery. Mr. Trzaska notes, “Many family are traveling great distances for this reunion and have never had an opportunity to visit these graves.”
Mr. Trzaska will be stationed at the cemetery for several hours to help guide people. He will have marked the graves with a single balloon for ease of locating family members’ resting places.
We invite all family members to visit the Church as well for Holy Mass on Sunday at 11:30am. May God bless your family gathering and protect you in your travels.
