Gdzie serce, tam twoj dom
Gdzie serce, tam twoj dom
In 1795 the nation of Poland ceased to exist and tremendous pressure was brought by the imperial powers to eradicate the Polish language and culture.
America not only offered a better life but the freedom to preserve their Polish heritage and Catholic faith. They built 19 churches in Milwaukee - this is their story.
John and Anna Smallshaw have roots both in Milwaukee and in Poland. Some 15 years ago we embarked on a project to research the history of the 19 Polish churches in Milwaukee, all constructed through the incredible sacrifice of Milwaukee's Polish immigrant community.
Our book has been completed and is now available on Amazon - https://a.co/d/2ymJLP4
Most of these beautiful churches now find themselves in distressed neighborhoods and with declining attendance. Your support at the parish level can help stem the closure and consolidation of these historic monuments. Please see the "The Churches" section for a listing of the churches and photographs.
