St. Mary of Czestochowa Parish ((ポーランド語:Parafia św. Marii Częstochowskiej w Middletown)) is a Catholic church parish in Middletown, Connecticut that was originally founded for Polish immigrants. The St. Mary of Czestochowa Church is a church building at 79 South Main Street in Middletown. The parish was founded in 1903. It is one of the Polish-American Roman Catholic parishes in New England in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Norwich. == History == With 300 Polish families resident in the city, Middletown’s Poles had determined to build a church of their own in 1902. A small group planned the organization of the St. Mary of Czestochowa parish, which gained formal approval from the bishop. The Saint Kazimierz order of Polish Lancers (an organization which took its name and traditions from the Polish Uhlans) was a local organization that was founded in 1902 and existed until 1940, when it merged into another organization. It "was instrumental" in the founding of the church.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ask the Courant )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Their Own Stories: Voices from Middletown's Melting Pot )〕 On February 28, 2010, the church held a memorial mass for victims of a local disaster, the Kleen Energy plant explosion.〔http://articles.courant.com/2010-02-28/community/hc-middletown-memorial-service.artfeb28_1_middletown-plant-explosion-ronald-crabb-middletown-common-council〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Mary of Czestochowa Parish (Middletown, Connecticut)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
