Matka Boska Zielna Mass

🇵🇱🌿Join us for the beloved, nearly 50-year-old tradition of the Matka Boska Zelma Mass on August 14th at 7:00 PM at St. Isidore the Laborer Church Grand Rapids (628 Diamond NE).🌿🇵🇱

Monsignor Edward Hankiewicz will lead this beautiful service. For those unfamiliar, "Matka Boska" roughly translates to "Our Lady of Herbs" or "Our Lady of Greens." The Mass begins with a special procession where flowers and herbs are placed at the altar to be blessed. You'll also enjoy traditional Polish hymns throughout the service.

Following the Mass, there will be a procession to the courtyard for the crowning of the Blessed Virgin Mary statue, concluding with refreshments and fellowship in the church hall.

We hope to see you there to share in this cherished tradition!
