History of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish Golden Jubilee 1891-1941 Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, Cleveland, Ohio, P History of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish Golden Jubilee 1891-1941 Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, Cleveland, Ohio, p. 82-91. CAP at Orchard Lake. Of the four largest Polish settlements in the United States, namely, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo and Cleveland, that in Cleveland occupies the fourth place. Polish pioneers settled in larger numbers in Cleveland and its vicinity in the year 1872, when immigrants from the Poznan Province of Poland settled in Berea. From the very beginning the majority of these settlers worked in the factories of Cleveland especially at the Grasselli Chemical Co., located on Independence Road at the Ohio Canal. The rest and those who came later, found employment in the Newburgh Steel and Wire Co. Both of these factories are located in the southeastern part of the city. It is natural, therefore, to find that most of the Poles settled near these places of employment and have remained to this day. It is a well-known fact, that the Poles are a very conservative people, even in their attachment to their first settlements, and are deeply religious. These two traits explain the presence of Poles to- day in the districts that are served by the parishes of St. Stanislaus and Sacred Heart. They are the first Roman Catholic parishes in the city of Cleveland. In passing we must note that the Immaculate Heart of Mary parish was not organized as a Catholic parish, but due to the untiring labor and zeal of Rt. Rev. Msgr. Marion Orzechowski, joined the unity of the Cleveland Poles, so that today these three parishes form the heart of the Polish settlement. In the year 1879, those first settlers, zealous and faithful to the Catholic traditions of their forefa- thers, with Father Wolgang at their head, bought fifteen (15) lots from Mr. Morgan on the present East 65th Street and Forman Avenue and built a modest building, the first Polish church and school of a Roman Catholic parish in Cleveland. From this small settlement of Catholic seed developed the present Polish population of Cleveland, ever faithful to its Catholic heritage, as is testified by the eleven parishes throughout the whole city of Cleveland. The oldest and probably the most faithful daughter of St. Stanislaus parish (her mother) is the parish of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The growth of the Polish population in the southern part of the city from 1 880 to 1 890 was so rapid that within ten years after the founding of St. Stanislaus parish, there were two hundred families in the Brecksville Road and Harvard Avenue district. This group decided to form its own Polish parish. As in other Polish beginnings there were many motives that prompted such an action; first, their homes were too far removed from their school, making it difficult for the children to attend. Then, attendance at Mass and devotions became difficult for the older members of the parish because of the distance and the crowded condition in the church due to the growing numbers settled 1 about the church. Finally, they looked with pride to the future when they could take upon themselves the obligation of maintaining their own pastor and church. At this time a fine piece of land (315 feet by 250 feet) between Krakow Avenue and Kazimier Avenue on East 71st Street was available at a reasonable price. After due deliberation a request for permission to buy this parcel was presented to the bishop and the church and school were built on the property. His Excellency Bishop Richard Gilmour graciously heard their request and readily granted Father Kolaszewski, then pastor of St. Stanislaus, permission to buy the land in the spring of 1889. The land was bought for $2,500.00 but because of various technical difficulties the deed was made out on the 15th day of October of the same year. In the meantime all joined in the building of the church. The construction of the church was undertaken by the contractor, August Dyczkowski, who em- ployed not only his own men but also the many parishioners who volunteered their help to build the church. The building consequently was erected quickly. How generous were the parishioners of Sacred Heart of that day can be readily learned from the fact that they also built a school for their children. On the 29th of September Rt. Rev. Msgr. A. Boeff, Vicar-General, by commission of Bishop Gilmour blessed the corner-stone. This wooden structure stands to this day. It consisted of two stories and for its day was very impressive, surrounded as it was by an orchard of fruit trees with open fields to the north and south. But alas, today there is a railroad both to the north and the south of the church and the surrounding district has many factories. On Christmas Day of that year, amid a large gathering of happy and proud people, Father Kolasze- wski celebrated Mass for the first time in the new edifice. The blessing of the new church, however, was delayed until June 22, and was performed by Rt. Rev. Msgr. A. Boeff along with the church bell. The cost of the building including the pews, altars and other church furniture amounted to $15,000.00. The upper story was given over to the church services and was finished in the Roman-Gothic style. The lower floor was divided into a four classroom school with its opening announced for the spring of that year. In 1890, one hundred fifty (150) children presented themselves at the opening of school. The task of educating these children was undertaken by two Felician Sisters, aided by (a lay teacher) J. Nadolny, who at the same time was the church organist. The first parish committee consisted of the following members: John Kaniecki, Xavier Patyk, Ste- phen Wojciechowski and Xavier Brodzinski. Through the cooperation of this committee with Father Kolaszewski, the church, although completely furnished, was all this time attended by the priests of St. Stanislaus parish and most frequently by Father F. Marszalowicz. This arrangement continued until September 6, 1891, when at the repeated requests of the parish- ioners the bishop appointed the Rev. Felix Orzechowski as the first pastor of Sacred Heart parish. With justifiable pride the parishioners looked upon their fully equipped church, erected in so short a time, and impatiently awaited the time when they would take upon themselves the responsibility of maintaining their own pastor. And so when Father Orzechowski arrived he received a sincere and warm reception. Father Felix Orzechowski was born in Poland, May 30, 1838. He received his education in Poland and France. In 1866 he was ordained priest for the diocese of Galveston, Texas. For almost six years he had been pastor of St. Anthony's parish in Toledo, Ohio. On November 4, 1891, he was made 2 pastor of Sacred Heart parish. From the outset it was decided that every adult should pay $6.00 a year pew rent. Moreover, all of the original members made voluntary contributions to decrease the parish debt. That very year the construction of the parish rectory was begun, at a cost of $2,000.00. When we consider the number of parishioners of that day, and the hardships and burdens that resulted from the rapid purchases and buildings, wonder and respect fills our hearts and souls for those poor pioneers full of faith and generosity. In less than three years, almost all of the present parish pro- perty was bought, the church and school were erected, the rectory was built and in the following year, 1892, the entire group of buildings was enclosed by a fine fence. And at the same time let us not forget that the young parish needed all the church furniture necessary for divine worship. The vestments, chalice, ciborium, altar linens, etc., were bought with the generous offerings of the parishioners brought to the pastor and used by him according to his choice and discretion. This church built by the first parishioners has in its day seen many changes and uses; it has been rebuilt for use as a hall for dramatic presentations, dances, athletic contests and gymnastics. It stands to this day as a memorial to the zeal and generosity of the original parishioners but on another place. To their eternal memory and as a witness of their profitable life, for the fruit of their labor has withstood a half century, we present their names as present parishioners have given them to us. Among the founders of this first mission church were the following: Maciejewski John, Świątkowski Martin, Makowski Francis, Kalas John, Gadomski Stanislaus, Ozdzi- nski, Czajkowski Andrew, Lain Martin, Wojciechowski Stephen, Krygier Joseph, Ostrowski, Koperski Louis, Kaniecki James, Killian J., Polcyn August, Mrozinski, Myszka John, Jakowiak Michael, Urbaniak Joseph, Kalupa Matthew, Kosicki Joseph, Swiderski Casimir, Teper Louis, Tomczyk Joseph, Jarosze- wski Walter, Surma Michael, Szturma Andrew, Janowski John, Zaworski Michael, Haas John I, Haas John II, Pelka, Zmudzinski Francis, Spychalski Valentine, Pacholski Victor, Pacholski John, Paczkow- ski Francis, Szelminski, Koperski Luke, Zgrabik Martin, Kesy Michael, Laskowski Anthony, Swiderski Martin, Kruszewski James. Among the living: Repinski Francis, Zgrabik Michael, Pytel Lawrence, Kolasinski John, Pacholski Anthony, Pianowski John, Szelminski Stanislaus. Father Orzechowski accepting the pastorate, headed the parish for one year and eleven months, i.e. to July 1, 1893. During his time the first parish society, that of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, was orga- nized with Matthew Kalupa, Michael Kesy, John Maciejewski and Michael Zaworski as its organizers. The year 1 893 was a trying one financially for the rising parish for there was very little work for the men.

    St. Joseph Church History. Golden Jubilee 1928-1978 of St. Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church, Warren, OH, p. 4-6. CAP at Orchard Lake. At the beginning of the 20th century many families of Polish origin began settling in Warren, Ohio. These people were the original victims of "Culture Shock" and were searching for something familiar in their new land. Having a strong desire to attend mass and serve God in their native language. They met together and in 1928 sent a petition to the Most Rev. Joseph Schrembs, Bishop of the Cleveland asking for his permission and assistance to form a Polish Parish. The American Bishops realized these people had special needs that could be best met by priests and parishes familiar with their native language and their home culture and traditions. This would in turn help preserve their faith while making the transition to a new culture easier. On July 6, 1928 permission was received to hold services, and Father Adolph Bernas was appointed to serve the new parish. Having no building of their own the first services were held in a rented storeroom at 300 Hall Avenue, N. W. It was only a short time until the present site was purchased and the construction of a frame church of Gothic design was begun. The laying of the corner stone took place on May 26, 1929. On Sunday, October 13, 1929, Bishop Schrembs and his secretary arrived in Warren for the blessing of the new church and grounds. The Bishop entered the new church, dedicated and placed it under the protection and guidance of "St.

Robert and William Parish May 6, 2021 page 1 page 2 Dear Graduates, It is with great joy that I offer my sincere congratulations on this occasion of commencement marking the completion of your graduate studies at Saint Mary Seminary and Graduate School of Theology. For all of you, seminarians soon to be ordained priests, lay men and women already serving in pastoral and educational ministries, and vowed religious already living out your charism, this day marks a significant step in your vocational journey and your life of service to the Church. An academic commencement marks a new chapter in your life, but you do not come to this day alone. Our gratitude as a diocesan Church extends to your families and friends who have supported you, the seminary administration, faculty and staff who have dedicated their lives to preparing candidates for ministry, and those who so generously support Saint Mary Seminary. Their commitment assures the continued vitality of this important ministry of priestly formation and theological education for years to come. In God’s plan each of you has been created and called according to God’s purpose. You have also been given the great gift to hear and respond to the Word of Jesus Christ, and, as St. Hilary of Poitiers writes, to be “saturated in His love and faith.” That love and faith which you have probed deeply in your theological studies mark you forever with a radical mission.
