Polish community raises money to demolish historic church before city imposed deadline
A family is on a tight deadline to demolish a church that has been in Northeast Minneapolis for more than a century. Author: Kiya Edwards Updated: 10:25 PM CDT July 17, 2021
MINNEAPOLIS As flames spread, the story did too. Three months later, Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish still stands in Northeast Minneapolis but the building is severely damaged. It was a definite shock, said Caroline Kutek, the pastor s daughter. The hardest part was my family wasn t together at that moment.
And her family was just hit with more surprising news.
The Daily Reporter
Bronson Polish Festival is one of the longest running community celebrations in the area. Is it because of the polka music blaring downtown all weekend or the parade on Saturday?
Or is it the Polish food kielbasa, golabki, pierogis, czarnina soup, kurczak kluska. Translation: Polish sausage, cabbage rolls, dumplings, duck blood soup, chicken and noodles.
Folks from surrounding communities often say they stop in only for the Polish food, maybe because it is sold exclusively during the festival.
Polish food destinations include Bronson Knights of Columbus, Matteson Street Grill, Smitty’s Pizza and Bronson Strike Zone. New this year is Tasteful Kreations, now open downtown, where Trisha Mayer only sells meals to take home and reheat.
