The pilgrim icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa visited St. Mary’s and Sacred Heart Churches in Newburgh, New York on October 14-15.
Newburgh is located 60 miles north of New York City, and was General George Washington’s headquarters during the American Revolution. It was here that George Washington vigorously rejected a proposal that he become something like an American monarch.
I’ve had lots of memorable experiences during the peregrination of the pilgrim icon of Our Lady of Czestochowa, but one of the most unusual was the motorcycle escort we received from St. Joseph’s Church in Middletown, New York to an abortion facility in Hackensack, New Jersey by the Husaria Polish Motorcycle Club. Husaria is named after the Polish Hussars who fought to relieve the City of Vienna from attack by the Ottoman Turks at the Battle of Vienna on September 12, 1683.
Holy Mary Virgin of Fatima,
Our Lady visited St. Joseph’s Church in Middletown, New York for the 7th Orange County Rosary Congress from October 10 to 12, 2013. Middletown is a city in Orange County in the Hudson Valley region on the northern boundary of the New York Metropolitan area. The first Mass in Middletown was offered by a mission priest from nearby Goshen in 1848. The St. Joseph Society was formed in 1859 with the intention of establishing a parish in Middletown.
Port Chester is a village in the town of Rye, New York. The first settlers of European descent came to Port Chester from the neighboring colony of Connecticut in 1660. For nearly 100 years Rye was a disputed territory between New York and Connecticut until 1788 when the New York Legislature officially established the Town of Rye’s boundaries.
