Hello Guys and Dolls:Speaking of Christmas memories, I found this picture of the interior of St. Hedwig’s Catholic Church from my home town. My Mother, Father and I belonged to this parish ever since I was born. I could not tell you how many services I attended there; I even served as an altar boy for several years. On Christmas Eve the church was decorated with Poinsettia plants and beautifully lit candles. The choir was mostly male accompanied by violins and the organ. The carols or kolendy in Polish were beautifully sung. I remember you had to leave the house by 11 p.m. just to get a seat and we lived only 1 block away. It was especially nice if snow was falling that evening. We all have our memories and if you would like, please share yours here.

Hi Joe:)
A great picture of the still
magnificent St Hedwig's Church:)
For non-trenton folks or folks
who have not been back to trenton
in a while, I point out the
north Trenton Polish area remains
Polish to this day as does
St Hedwigs:)
I heard the Brunswick and Olden Ave. area had been revitalized over the past few years, it's nice to see that. Holy Cross was another church with a beautiful interior and the same Polish traditions for those living in that area. Glad to see it.
