Immaculate Conception Parish Immaculate Conception Parish The Sisters of The Resurrection Remember Blessed Celine For over 100 years, the Sisters of the Resurrection have served our Parish and community, primarily in the field of education, health care and spiritual guidance. Many of our IC Alumni and parishioners have felt firsthand their compassion and commitment to the teachings of their foundress, Blessed Celine Borzecka who was beatified on October 27, 2007. Background on Blessed Celine The Congregation of the Sisters of the Resurrection was founded in Rome in 1891 by a widow, Celine Borzecka, and her daughter, Hedwig. The for- mation of the Congregation was the first time in the history of the Catholic Church that a religious community of women was founded by a mother and a daughter. Blessed Celine was a dedicated wife, loving mother, empow- ered widow and devoted religious woman – truly a role model for today’s modern woman. She once said: “There are no small things in the service of God. Everything is great because everything is an expression of His most beloved will.” Mother Celine was beatified on October 27, 2007 at Saint John Lateran Basilica in Rome, Italy. The miracle which qualified Mother Celine for this Beatification was the cure of a life-threatening head trauma to her great, great, great grandson, Andrew Mecherzynski-Wiktor. God performed the miracle, but Mother Celine is the one who interceded. The miracle took place shortly after the whole Congregation prayed a Novena to her for a miracle for Andrew. Prayers for Graces through the intercession of Blessed Celine Borzecka Praise be to you, Lord Jesus, who have gifted blessed Celine with a special love for the paschal mystery and the de- sire to fulfill Your holy will. Grant us, through her intercession, the grace... for which we beg You, trust- ing in your unlimited love for us. Lord may your Church rejoice by numbering your servant, Celine, among the saints for Your greater glory and for our good. You are God, Who lives and reigns with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen. The Sisters of the Resurrection Congregation called into action in Chicago Sister Anne Strzelecka, C.R. arrived in Chicago on February 2, 1900 to work with students in Catholic schools. In 1912, Sister Anne bought a tract of land in northwest Chicago and three years later opened Resurrection Academy as an elementary school and boarding school for girls.

    CHURCH OF ST. ADALBERT 1903-1978 Grane Street Hill, 550 Lansing Street, Schenectady, NY 12303 (Jubilee Book) Crested on a hill stands the Church of St. Adalbert, its magnificent steeple spiralling heavenward, a reminder of the Shrine of Our Lady of Częstochowa (Jasna Góra), the spiritual and cultural focal point of Poland. Thus located, it offers a panoramic view of the City of Schenectady. As the Documents of Vatican Council II underscored, the Church is primarily people-God's people. More than two centuries before the establishment of the Church, Polish immigrants were known to be living in America, among them Albert Zaborowski. One of his descendants, John Lansing Zabriskie, was living in Schenectady in 1792. John, who in 1795 subscribed funds toward petitioning the New York State Regents to establish Union College, was a member of its first graduating class. Records further indicate that Ludwig Gapczynski, after serving in the Civil War, took up residence with his wife on Veeder Avenue in 1865. Not only was he the first Pole to become a citizen in Sche- nectady (in 1868), but his son, William, was the first person of Polish descent born in the City. A tailor by trade until his hands were severely burned, Ludwig then opened the first Polish grocery on Ferry Street. This was a blessing for the Polish women who, lacking adequate English, were forced to bring samples of coffee, pepper, sugar, and other foodstuffs wherever they shopped. The store also served as a place where friends met to exchange news. The Gapczynski family, through their subsequent travel agency and banking interest, encouraged and assisted other Polish families to settle here.

  • Circular Letter to the Brothers
    CIRCULAR LETTER TO THE BROTHERS FOR THE CONCLUSION OF THE JUBILEE YEAR COMMEMORATING THE ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIFTH YEAR OF THE FOUNDING OF THE CONGREGATION OF THE RESURRECTION OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST God willing, I begin the journey toward the immense task of our new activity. There are so many expectations for our new work, so much that my heart is pounding and can sense the fear of not omitting anything. In the power of our Lord’s resurrection there is hope. Let us pray, let us pray together. The time has arrived! The Lord Jesus asks us to weigh anchor and to set out into the deep water. (Fr. Jerome Kajsiewicz, Letters, Vol. 8, p. 183) Dear Brothers! The waters have long passed beneath the bridges of the Tiber since the 32nd General Chapter, held in Rome on June 1 – 22, 2011, elected the new government of the Congregation. It is true that as superior general I have made myself present to you on various occasions, but this time I would like to share a broader reflection on the occasion of the jubilee year which is coming to an end. We have celebrated it in various ways, but in a rather discreet manner. Some gatherings have been organized, as well as celebrations in the parishes or religious houses on the Provincial or local community levels. For this occasion some publications have come out in the different languages. While writing these words I have in front of me the Circular Letter written on the occasion of the previous jubilee year (150 years) by the General Curia of that time, which reminds us: ―The Congregation of the Resurrection is not a work of our own or our own possession, but is rather the work of the Lord and his possession […].

    ARTYKUŁY RESOVIA SACRA R. 27 (2020) JOANNA PYSZNA REFLECTIONS OF MOTHER TERESA KALKSTEIN ON THE RELIGIOUS VOCATION IN THE CIRCULAR LETTERS TO THE SISTERS OF THE RESURRECTION The year 2020 marks the fortieth anniversary of death of Teresa Kalkstein, the fourth Mother Superior of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Resurrection1. It is an excellent opportunity to recall not only her person but also her teaching. She was indeed an extremely important and remarkable person who led the Con- gregation during a difficult time: the II World War and the renewal of the reli- gious life started by the II Vatican Council. Her long and dedicated service to the JOANNA PYSZNA, doctoral student of theology of spirituality at Cardinal Stefan Wyszynski Uni- versity in Warsaw. Currently a doctoral student of history of the Church at The John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. ORCID 0000-0002-0870-6062. 1. The Congregation of the Sisters of Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ was founded on the 6th of January 1891 by two Polish women, a mother and daughter, Celina (Celine) Borzęcka and Jadwiga (Hedwig) Borzęcka. In 1905 the Congregation received its decree of approbation and in 1923 the Constitutions were confirmed. In 1891 the first convent was established in Kęty (Poland) and in 1900 the Resurrection Sisters went to the United States. In 1928 the Congregation was divided into the following provinces: the Polish Province, the Western and Eastern Province in the USA. In 1937 the Polish one was transformed into two provinces: the Poznan and Warsaw one. From the very beginning of the existence of the Congregation the sisters have undertaken tireless efforts towards a religious and moral rebirth of the world in the spirit of the Beatitudes.
