Annual Blessing Of Pets

Events, Parish Life, PNCC /

Our annual blessing of pets in commemoration of St. Francis of Assisi took place last Sunday, October 3rd at 11:00 o’clock Mass in the parish hall. Several pets were brought in for the blessing in commemoration of Feast of Saint Francis of Assisi (Oct. 4).

St. Francis believed based on the Holy Scripture in the ability of all animals to praise God. One of the Psalms is asking the nature, all creatures to praise God for his goodness. Therefore let us remember that we praise our God together with the nature and all creatures around us.

News of the XXIII General Synod

Announcements, Events, PNCC /

218 Delegates attended the 23rd General Synod of Polish National Catholic Church in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. The Holy Synod was hosted by the PNCC of Canada.

On Tuesday October 5th, our Diocesan Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Dr. Anthony Mikovsky, was elected as 7th Prime Bishop of the PNCC. Now the Most Rev. Dr. Anthony Mikovsky was elected by a two-thirds majority of the ordained and lay delegates, including the prime bishop-elect’s father.

Bishop Mikovsky has been bishop of the Central Diocese and pastor of St. Stanislaus Cathedral since 2006. Before becoming bishop, he served as the assistant pastor at St. Stanislaus, the mother church of the PNCC beginning in 1997.

In his new post he will move less than two blocks from the East Locust Street cathedral to the seat of the Polish National Catholic Church on Pittston Avenue.
“I’m overwhelmed,” he said not long after the vote. “When people put trust in you to lead them in God’s field, and in going forward to build up the church, it’s a very humbling experience.”

Also at Synod, the Very Rev. Paul Sobiechowski of St. Joseph’s Parish in Davie, Florida was elected candidate for the bishop.

We keep in our prayers retired Prime Bishop Robert Nemkovich, our newly elected Prime Bishop Anthony, and Fr. Senior Paul.

Annual Blessing of Pets

Announcements, Events, Parish Life /

The annual Blessing of Pets in Commemoration of St. Francis of Assisi will take place on Sunday, October 3rd at the beginning of the 11am Holy Mass. The Mass will take place in the parish hall. Well behaved dogs, cats, fish, birds and all God’s creatures are invited with their owners. As we know, animals trusted St. Francis and he treated them with courtesy.

Near the end of his life St. Francis composed a song of praise and thanks to God for all his creations, called “Canticle to Brother Sun,” also known as the “Canticle of the Creatures.” From this song we know that St. Francis did not perceive himself isolated from other creatures. He simply assumed that all creatures – not only humans – form one family of creation. So we are encouraged to bless and praise God in His cats, dogs, birds and all other creatures.
