Polish Parishes Announce Summer Pilgrimages and Fundraising Activities

Parishes of St. Izydor in Warsaw and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross in Olecko released announcements for the ordinary Sunday of July 12 2026, thanking parishioners for financial support and outlining liturgical services, including evening Masses and a rosary procession.

Both parishes are raising funds for restoration projects—the Warsaw church for organ repairs and toilet renovations, and the Olecko parish for organ work and Radio Maryja programming. They also reported charitable initiatives, such as a food‑distribution drive by the local Caritas team.

A series of pilgrimages were scheduled for the summer months: multiple walking pilgrimages to the Jasna Góra sanctuary, a youth pilgrimage to Medjugorje, an international trip to Seoul for the World Youth Days, and regional trips to places like Rajgrod and Wilno. Additional devotional events include a pre‑baptism conference, adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, and special Masses for various intentions throughout July and August.
