Dear Brothers and Sisters, Beloved Compatriots!
On Saturday, November 7, 2026, we will mark the 10th anniversary of the Great Act of Penance of the Polish-American community of the East Coast.
On this special occasion, we invite everyone to join in prayer, penance, acts of reparation, and entrust. Ten years ago, at the conclusion of the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy, we gathered at the Divine Mercy Hill in Verona, in spiritual union with our Homeland, to ask God for forgiveness for our sins, as well as those of our families and our Homeland.
After ten years, we wish to stand once again in that same place as one great Polish-American family. We wish to humbly ask God for mercy for ourselves and our families, and to entrust to His care our Homeland, Poland, and our second homeland, the United States. We will pray in a special way for world peace, for an end to wars and conflicts, for the cessation of violence, hatred, and suffering, and for reconciliation among nations. May this jubilee be a time for us to renew our faith, return to God, and offer penance and reparation for our sins. Let us entrust our families, our homelands, and the future of the entire world to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.
