Our Lady of Cz\u0119stochowa has a special place in the hearts of many people throughout the world. The Shrine in Cz\u0119stochowa, Poland, and the Shrine in Doylestown, PA are \u201cmust see\u201d sights for people in both locations. The Pauline Fathers at Corpus Christi Church and their religious order are custodians of both Shrines in the USA and Poland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
August 26th each year is designated as the feast day to Our Lady of Cz\u0119stochowa. Because the feast day falls on a Wednesday, this year Corpus Christi Community is inviting everyone to visit and participate at the 9:30 AM Mass on Sunday, August 23 with a tribute to Our Lady.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are children of Our Heavenly Mother and live to honor Our Mother with tributes. Therefore, Father Micha\u0142 would like the congregation to bring fresh cut flowers from your garden or purchased at the store, to decorate her altar. With your flowers please add your prayer intentions. The petitions will remain before Our Lady\u2019s Icon throughout the nine-day-novena to Our Lady of Cz\u0119stochowa which we celebrate yearly in our parish. Father is also kindly asking for monetary donations at this time which can be placed in the basket by Our Lady\u2019s Altar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Given the severity of the pandemic in our country and throughout the world, the words to the Polish Hymn, \u201cCzarna Madonno\u201d resonate with finding in Our Lady, comfort, refuge, safety, reassurance and embrace that the world we live in today, could never possible give to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After Mass you will have the opportunity to take Holy Cards of Our Lady of Cz\u0119stochowa from Jasna Gora in Poland. The Holy Card is imprinted with a piece of veil cloth, touched to the original Icon. You may also take it with you and place it in a prominent place in your home, and dedicate your family to the Blessed Mother. Pray with your family to Our Lady of Cz\u0119stochowa often, asking her to bring the Covid-19 under control with an appropriate vaccine soon. Consider visiting the Shrine in Doylestown, PA this summer as a mini-vacation or set a goal in your future to visit the Shrine of Cz\u0119stochowa at Jasna Gora in Czestochowa, Poland. As \u201cJasna Gora\u201d is translated into English meaning \u201cBright Hill,\u201d let us pray that brighter days are coming to America and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
