Solemnity – Institution of the PNCC – Third Sunday of Lent – Cycle “B”, March 11, 2012

On the 2nd Sunday in March we commemorate the organizing of the PNCC, that moment when the Holy Spirit called this branch of the Holy Catholic Church into existence. It is a time for all Polish National Catholics to express their thanks to God for the guidance, grace, and protection which He has bestowed upon us from the beginning. It is also a time to remember those individuals who played a very important part in serving both God and His people during very difficult times, especially Prime Bishop Hodur, all the priests and all the lay people who worked, prayed, contributed, and struggled with the help of the Holy Spirit, so that this branch of the Catholic Church might grow and fulfill the charge given to it by our Lord Jesus Christ. I remind you of these beautiful principles of our Church. Safeguard them, uphold them, and please become involved in the work of your parish and Church, so that together we might serve our Lord Jesus Christ and minister to His people! Let us strive to revive that Spirit in our Church that existed in our parents and grandparents, when people placed a high priority on the Church and were involved in its life, work, and worship. — Most Rev. John F. Swantek, God’s Field No 5, March 12, 1988.
