Polish Roman Catholic Union of America To Form In Roswell

From PRCUA: On Saturday, July 7, 2018 from 5:00 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. there will be an informational meeting about the newly forming Polish Roman Catholic Union of America (PRCUA) society in Roswell, the Casimir Pulaski Society. The meeting will be held in the barn meeting space of Barrington Hall at 535 Barrington Dr. in Roswell, GA 30075.

The Polish Roman Catholic Union of America (PRCUA), headquartered in Chicago, IL, is the mother of Polish American fraternal organizations. Established in 1873 by Rev. Teodor Gieryk and Rev. Wincenty Barzynski, C.R., it has grown into the largest Polish Roman Catholic fraternal benefit society in the United States. In its early years, the PRCUA pioneered social programs to assist its members financially by collecting donations for widows, orphans and the needy. It also raised funds to build an orphanage and a hospital. The PRCUA sponsors national sports tournaments, social events and youth programs, including 25 Polish language and dance schools in six states, where close to 2,000 children are taught the Polish language, folk dances, songs, culture, history and traditions. The PRCUA also sponsors teen programs, such as the annual Cinderella - Prince Charming Ball and the Michigan State Ball. The PRCUA has an over 140-year legacy of supporting charitable endeavors. During WW II, members sent food, medical supplies and ambulances to Polish refugees. During martial law in the 1980s, the PRCUA raised funds to purchase five ambulances that were sent to Poland. The organization continues to support charitable causes, such as its annual donations to Polish seminarians at the Orchard Lake Schools in Michigan.
