Celebration of the Day of St. Jadwiga Queen

8 June 2005

For the second time, our Patron’s Day (8 June) was celebrated during the mass in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Melbourne. At the beginning of the Mass, Father (whose roots are Polish) gave short presentation about St. Jadwig Queen.

Every year, from the initiative of the Queen Jadwiga Foundation, the altar in Wawel Cathedral (Krakow, Poland) is decorated with bouquets of red roses
