My nie chcemy więcej wojny!

Po dwóch latach przerwy, obchody Święta Niepodległości Polski w Hamilton miały bardzo uroczysty charakter. Uroczystość rozpoczęła się Mszą Św. w Kościele Św. Stanisława w Hamilton. Poczty sztandarowe organizacji polonijnych, harcerze, młodzież polska bardzo licznie przybyła na to piękne święto. Starsi z łezką w oku wspominali weteranów i bohaterów wojen, młodsi uczyli się historii i patriotyzmu. Po uroczystej mszy świętej, oddaniu hołdu bohaterom wojen i terroryzmu komunistycznego, złożeniu wieńców pod Pomnikiem Wdzięczności, Polonia zgromadziła się w Domu Polskim- siedzibie Legionu Placówka 315, aby uczestniczyć w akademii okolicznościowej przygotowanej przez panią Monikę Karpińską i panią Hannę Laskę.

W akademii wzięli udział uczniowie Polskiej Szkoły Średniej, uczniowie Szkoły Polonii im. Jana Pawła II, harcerze i harcerki szczepu ‘Wisła” i „Dunajec “oraz zespól taneczny „Polonez”. Uczniowie programem słowno- muzycznym wprowadzili widzów w nostalgiczny nastrój przywołując waleczność Polaków i miłość do Ojczyzny w drodze do suwerenności. Mocno wybrzmiały słowa piosenki:

„…My nie chcemy więcej wojny,
Chcemy żyć życiem spokojnym
Jaki długi i szeroki jest nasz świat…”

A zaraz po tym:

„… żeby Polska była Polską…”.

Musimy również pamiętać słowa Św. Jana Pawła II, że wolność jest darem i jest ona nam zadana.

Dziękujemy Prezesowi KPK Okręg Hamilton panu Andrzejowi Felinczakowi za objęcie patronatu nad obchodami, dziękujemy konsulowi RP w Toronto panu Rafałowi Gajewskiemu za przybycie, Prezes R.C.L.- pani Urszuli Rybarczyk za gościnność, księżom naszej parafii oraz wszystkim, którzy przygotowali i uświetnili obchody 104 rocznicy odzyskania przez Polskę niepodległości.

Polish School only online

Dear Parents and Guardian(s),

Summer vacation is coming to an end, and we hope that everyone had a healthy, relaxing and enjoyable summer vacation. We also hope everyone is awaiting the start of another school year.

A week ago, we received information from HWDSB that our polish language program will only be online. In the beginning, the board stated that we could only offer the polish language to grades 4 to 8 and would begin in October. However, this past Monday, we received information saying that we will also be allowed to offer the polish language to students from JK to 8 but only online. Classes will begin in October because, during the month of September, the teachers will be going through training on how best to offer the polish language through the online portal.

At this moment, we do not have much information about registration; however, as soon as the information becomes available to us, we will be updating our website and getting in touch with you through email. We must get through these unprecedented times to see each other once again soon.

Thank you very much for your patience, and we will be in touch soon,

Teachers of Szkoly Polonii im Jana Pawla II w Hamilton.

“There is a night that people are waiting for. It’s such a special evening when everyone gathers at the common table. There is an evening when disputes go out, an evening when we break the wafer, we make wishes … This is an exceptional night … the only … unique … Christmas night! ”

Annual Nativity play issued by students of the Polonia School John Paul II in Hamilton always carry a beautiful message and bring the audience into Christmas time. The weeks preceding this event, students spend preparing their performances under the guidance of teachers.
Presenting the story of the birth of the Lord Jesus is a great opportunity to present your acting skills, but also an opportunity to spend a family afternoon on Saturday afternoon.

Students prepared traditional Nativity in the guest parish hall of St. Stanisław Kostka in Hamilton. They introduced the audience to the atmosphere of Christmas with this beautiful, colorful performance. A whole galaxy of nativity play figures with great commitment told the story of the birth of God’s Baby. There were shepherds, wise men from the east, a multitude of Angels and a holy family (Julia Orzel in the role of Mary and Kacper Pyzik in the role of Józef) with the Newborn Baby Jesus. Singing traditional Christmas carols and joyful pastorals performed by all school students added charm to the staging.

Many outstanding guests came to this performance:

Pastor of St. Stanisława – priest Michał Kruszewski, H.W.D.S.B. represented two Site Supervisors Dina and Lindsay, Godfather of the banner: Kazimierz Chrapek, President – R.C.L. Br. 315- Urszula Rybarczyk, Vice President Z.G. ZNP in Canada Teresa Szramek, President of the ZNP Branch in Hamilton – Agnieszka Bledowski, Monika Karpinska – High School Director at the Catholic Department of Education, Monika Migon from the Polish School at the Union of Poles in Canada and a large audience.

A big thank you goes to all those who helped in the preparation of the beautiful decoration and painting of the Hall: Mariusz Kupiec, Dariusz Malek, Isabella Wojciechowska, Jarosław Florek, Krzysztof Biernat.

Nativity plays have been recorded by Polish Studio for almost forty years, for which we would like to thank our St. Stanislaus – St. Casimir’s Polish Parishes Credit Union.

Especially for our ceremony came the Consul General of the Republic of Poland Mr. Krzysztof Grzelczyk, who together with his wife Mrs. Jolanta Grzelczyk gave layettes to all students of class 1/2.
