After the noon High Mass at St. Stanislaus Church, the Polish Saturday School is hosting its 70th annual Jasełka (Christmas Pageant) with over fifty (50) youth & adult students at the St. Stanislaus Social Center around 1:30pm, which will be followed by a traditional Babcia-made Wigilia (Christmas Eve) meatless meal featuring pierogi, kapusta, barszcz, paszczeciki, baked fish, and desserts around 2:30pm! Święty Mikołaj (Santa) will make an appearance and provide gifts to the children. Following the traditional program around 3:00pm, "Captain Tom & the Hooligans" will take the stage to keep the party going with live Christmas music. The bar will be open for the day featuring Polish beer, Polish vodka, various wines, Nalewka, grzaniec, and soft drinks along with Mister Pizza & Polish snacks for purchase. All patrons are reminded to drink responsibly, and that ID is required at the bar.
