ABOUT US
In the year 2003, by decision of the Parish Council and supported by the local parish, it was decided to organize the First Polish Festival. We had no experience, but we had the courage of our parishioners that gave us the strength and faith hat to go on. Our parishioners financially supported the festival, and worked vigorously before, during, and after the festival. The music program was rather poor, but all applauded each person’s performance, bands from Tuscon, as well as a local school team. The first festival was a success in every aspect, including those financial. Therefore, with great optimism, the next festival’s organizations were easier. The pros and cons brought to our attention have allowed for better and more efficient organization in the years to follow. We placed great value on artistic part of the program, which was an important point of the festival. With each year, more performing teams were invited. The first team that visited us was Stella Polonia from Canada.

The Legend of Lech, Czech and Rus
Over a thousand years ago, there were three Slav brothers wandering with their tribes through the lands of forests and fields stretching between two large rivers, Oder in the west and Dnieper in the east, in search of the best place to settle. One day, after months of weary travel, a beautiful sight appeared before their eyes: on a hill there stood a huge oak tree with a nest between its branches. From the nest a mighty white eagle soared into the sky. Lech was amazed by the view and considered it as a sign from the gods for him and his people. He decided to settle there and chose the white eagle with its wings spread wide against the sunset sky for their emblem. Soon they built a town which they called Gniezno (a “nest” in the Slavic language). The town became the capital of their nation and the first capital of Poland. And so the three brothers separated: Czech decided to go south and Rus chose the east where they started their own countries.
