June 1 guests from Poland with Prof. Brian Hammer of Daemen were exploring old Polonia district. Among many examples of the ethnic heritage of Polonia they paid a visit to Corpus Christi Church. They didn’t hide that were enchanted by it’s beauty. Pastor, Fr. Michał Czyżewski, not only carefully explained the long tradition of the Parish and of the local Polonia, but also focus on the art as one of the factors which leads people to God.
Despite of studying in Poland the group of students is very international: Nathaz Droz is originally from Switzerland, Zelalem Ntesfaye – Ethiopia, M.Morgan Sayed – Egypt, Liana Blikharska and Mariam Kunchuliya – Ukraine, Paulina A. Bugajska and Maciej Kamiński – Poland. Most of them the very first time were in the US, and in WNY.
