Holy Saturday

Polish Traditional Blessing of the Easter Baskets (Święconka) St Charles Church — 10:30 AM

Join us at St Charles for the cherished Polish tradition of święconka — the blessing of Easter baskets. Bring a basket filled with symbolic foods: eggs, bread, salt, horseradish, ham or sausage, cheese, and a piece of cake, covered with a white cloth. The priest will bless the baskets, asking God’s protection and grace for your home and family throughout Eastertide.

All parishioners and visitors are warmly welcome. Please arrive a few minutes early to allow space for everyone and to prepare your basket for blessing.

Easter Vigil — 6:30 PM; All are invited to celebrate.
