Apollonia Raczkiewicz was President of a National Society at St. Adalbert Church

Apollonia Raczkiewicz (my Grandma) was President of one of religious societies of St. Adalbert’s. When the parish was formed in 1881, there were three and by 1931, it had grown to 24. Eight were nationally affiliated. The one she was president of was the national organization for women called the Polish Nationals under the Guidance of Our Lady of Czestochowa, April 12, 1931 http://www.mipolonia.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/St.-Adalbert_1881-1981_Grand-Rapids_MI.pdf Page 48 Image credit: Unknown authorUnknown author, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
