Welcome-Witamy
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank you for visiting the site, as well as give you an understanding as to why this site exists.
Recently it has come to our attention of the nationwide and perhaps even worldwide interest in Polish congregations of the Catholic faith. Here in our corner of New England, Our Lady of Czestochowa stands as the center of our faith, nestled in the hills of the Pioneer Valley. Come see what it means to be Polish Catholic in 21st century.

Gospel
“Holy Father, keep them in your name that you have given me,
so that they may be one just as we are one.
When I was with them I protected them in your name that you gave me,
and I guarded them, and none of them was lost
except the son of destruction,
in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
But now I am coming to you.
I speak this in the world
so that they may share my joy completely.
I gave them your word, and the world hated them,
because they do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
I do not ask that you take them out of the world
but that you keep them from the evil one.
They do not belong to the world
any more than I belong to the world.
Consecrate them in the truth. Your word is truth.
As you sent me into the world,
so I sent them into the world.
And I consecrate myself for them,
so that they also may be consecrated in truth.”

Prayer for Peace to Mary, the Light of Hope
Immaculate Heart of Mary, help us to conquer the menace of evil, which so easily takes root in the hearts of the people of today, and whose immeasurable effects already weigh down upon our modern world and seem to block the paths toward the future.
From famine and war, deliver us.
From nuclear war, from incalculable self destruction, from every kind of war, deliver us.
From sins against human life from its very beginning, deliver us.
From hatred and from the demeaning of the dignity of the children of God, deliver us.
From readiness to trample on the commandments of God, deliver us.
From the loss of awareness of good and evil, deliver us.
From sins against the Holy Spirit, deliver us.
Accept, O Mother of Christ, this cry laden with the sufferings of all individual human beings, laden with the sufferings of whole societies. Help us with the power of the Holy Spirit conquer all sin: individual sin and the “sin of the world,” sin in all its manifestations.
Let there be revealed once more in the history of the world the infinite saving power of the redemption: the power of the merciful love.
May it put a stop to evil.
May it transform consciences.
May your Immaculate Heart reveal for all the light of hope
Amen~
(Pope John Paul II)
Join the Crusade for Purity
“To preserve Purity, three things are necessary; the Presence of God, prayer and the Sacraments; and again, the reading of holy books-this nourishes the soul” – St. John Vianney – Catechism on Purity ( Monnin’s Life).
Lust kills love, human and Divine.It is a chief cause of war here, misery hereafter.
By Thine Immaculate Conception, O Mary, make my body pure and my soul holy. Three times, followed each time by a Hail Mary.
My Mother, keep me this day from mortal sin. Hail Mary, three times.
From the Jesus, Mary, Joseph Novena Manual

For the formation of religious and seminarians
We pray that religious women and men, and seminarians, grow in their own vocations through their human, pastoral, spiritual and community formation, leading them to be credible witnesses to the Gospel.
