Ah, Polish Fest.
It was wonderful.
We (the family) actually went to Mass at St. Stan's (which we never do, really). It was in English and Polish, which was wonderful. I know about two words in Polish (being "yes" and "thank you"...I think that that's all I really need to know...I'm agreeable and grateful...haha). The music was somewhat polka-ish...I don't think it technically qualified as a Polka Mass though. It was amazing, though. They had a huge banner of the Divine Mercy, and the real Polish people (not the half-breeds like me) were wearing their traditional Polish dress. It was amazing. And the priest was a total rockstar. He went on and on about the Holy Father and how we must be obedient to him because he is the descendent of Peter who is guided by the Holy Spirit, and anyone who speaks contrary to him is wrong and we really cannot listen to them because it's a pack of lies. It was wonderful. I loved it. The only weird part was the Communion song, which was "Pescador de Hombres"...in Polish. Odd.
Anyway, the pierogies were amazing. And so was the Polish sausage. YUM.
Ok, the family's starting a movie, and as I'm going to be here for only 3 more days, I feel it obligatory to go watch.
More later...or tomorrow.
Caritas et veritas.
