Apollonia Raczkiewicz was President of one of the religious societies of St. Adalbert’s
“Apollonia Raczkiewicz” (my Grandma Pauline) was President of one of the religious societies of St. Adalbert’s. When the parish was formed in 1881, there were three groups and by 1931, it had grown to 24. Eight were nationally affiliated. All had a different mission in strengthening and spreading their faith.
The one she was president of was the national organization for women called the “Polish Nationals under the Guidance of Our Lady of Czestochowa.” It was founded April 12, 1931 and they had 47 members
In 1931, St. Adalbert Church was 50 years old.
