[email protected]> Editor—Long-time reader Armela Hammes wrote this note to Paul S. Valasek in response to his article “St. Joseph’s, Chicago: 125th Anniversary Celebration” in the June 2012 issue of Gen Dobry! I asked for permission to share it with our readers because I think many of you will enjoy reading what she had to say. Dear Paul, Enjoyed your article about St. Joseph’s in the July issue of Gen Dobry! My grandparents, Lawrence and Josephine Paluszek Galezewski, were married in St. Joseph’s Church on 10 November 1895. Their five children were baptized in St. Joseph’s Church, including my mother, the youngest of five. I have my mother’s Remembrance of First Communion certificate, with a photo of the church on it, signed by Rev. S. Cholewinski, dated 17 June 1917. My mother was almost 14 at the time.
