Thank you This relic came from a church in New York that closed its doors. NEW BEDFORD, Mass. (AP) — The first Polish Roman Catholic church in New Bedford closed after 117 years, following years of declining membership and the death of its pastor. The church was built in 1905 and had a school for the city’s Polish children. Inside was hung a painting of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, which was imported from Rome and endowed with many privileges by Pope Pius X. The church fell on hard times during the Great Depression and nearly went bankrupt in 1932, but decided to have parish operations taken over by a religious order, which kept the doors open. By the 1970s, concerns arose about the church’s future, as declining attendance combined with increasing funerals and fewer new members. Still, the heart of the church was for years Rev. Roman Chwaliszewski, the longest-serving pastor. Starting in the early 1980s, he boosted social activities such as an annual Polish festival with traditional food, as well as Bingo games, seasonal bazaars and food sales. Catholic relic, the wood of the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Legend relates that the True Cross was found by St. Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, during her pilgrimage to the Holy Land about 326.This is wood that is permitted by eBay, thank you
