🇵🇱🇺🇸 Today, on March 6th— the birthday of the legendary Brigadier General Casimir Pulaski—we honor the “Father of the American Cavalry” for his heroic contributions to the American Revolution. Born in 1745 in Warsaw, Poland, Pulaski fought valiantly for freedom on two continents, ultimately giving his life at the Battle of Savannah in 1779. His legacy reminds us of the unbreakable bond between Polish and American patriots. Let’s celebrate his courage and the enduring spirit of liberty!

Last night, we celebrated the annual tradition of Fat Thursday at St. Teresa’s Parish Center (the Mother Church of South Buffalo). You came out in force, 400 pączki sold out, and you polka’d your dancing shoes off! We can’t say thank you enough to all of you who attended, our amazing selfless unpaid volunteers, the donors of our basket raffle, and Wardynski’s. Thank you to Polish Heritage Dancers and The Buffalo Touch for performing. In saying thank you, we donated $12,027 to St. Teresa’s from our Christmas Around the World event. To Fr. Bill and the people of St. Teresa’s Parish (and family of churches), what can be said is not enough—you have been welcoming and extremely accommodating. Our relationship and collaborations are ones we hope can be an example and standard for others. Dziękujemy wszystkim za wspaniałą zabawę!
