2026 Pilgrimage to Poland
Due to the interest of so many parishioners from our family of parishes and others Fr. Jozef would like to organize another Pilgrimage to Poland from August 31 to September 9, 2026. Our last Pilgrimage was very good, safe, and extremely enjoyable for all who attended. This time we will visit some new cities, shrines and churches as well. The tour will include Baltic Sea cities such as Gdańsk and Sopot, Toruń where Polish astronomer and mathematician Mikołaj Kopernik (Nicolaus Copernicus) was born. Toruń is also famous for its magnificent medieval architecture, historical monuments, and its Gothic Old Town with its stunning cathedrals. Gniezno, the first capital of Poland and a key site for the spread of Christianity beginning in 966; Wrocław; Kraków - the second capital and most famous cultural city of Europe, the shrine of Częstochowa; and Warsaw, the present capital and largest city in Poland. The total cost per person will be approximately $3,700 including roundtrip airfare (from Buffalo) and lodging. Exact itinerary and cost will be provided in December. If interested in taking part in this exceptional experience, please contact Sandi Smith via email at: [email protected], or telephone: 716-866-6493. If we receive a good response we will proceed with further planning. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to preregister.
