Saint Stanislaus B&M Roman Catholic Church


PSS  ÅšwiÄ™conka


On Sunday, April 5, the Msgr. Adamski Polish Saturday School will be holding its annual ÅšwiÄ™conka immediately following the 12:00 Noon Polish Mass..  The ÅšwiÄ™conka, which will be held in the St. Stanislaus Social Center, will include a performance by the Polish Saturday School Students and a basket raffle.  

ÅšwiÄ™conka is a traditional Polish Easter breakfast with food that generally is blessed on Holy Saturday and enjoyed with family and friends on Easter Sunday immediately after the Resurrection Mass.  The highlight of the meal is the sharing of the blessed Easter egg, a symbol of life, and the extending of wishes and thanks for God's many blessings.

The typical ÅšwiÄ™conka includes ham, kielbasa, babka, eggs, the "Baranek" (Pascal Lamb), cheese, salt, and horseradish.  As families have become integrated, the tradition continues and the ÅšwiÄ™conka (and the Easter basket) includes other items such as chocolate, placek, wine, fruit, smoked bacon, and other wonderful food items to delight the palate.

Tickets are sold at the door:  adults ($17, children 5-12 $12, children under 5 and PSS students are free
