It was raining and cold in Texas on the morning of December 26, 2011 but the skies cleared just in time for the annual St. Stephen’s Day Kolędy Polskie in Chappell Hill. At 1 PM, an enthusiastic group of kolednicy or Polish Christmas carolers began singing on the steps of St. Stanislaus Catholic Church, a historic parish that was founded in 1889 by early Polish immigrants to Texas. St. Stanislaus’ pastor, Father Jozef Musiol, a native of Poland with a great singing voice helped Mike Addicks, Dr. Jim Mazurkiewicz and Brian Marshall lead the singing group. Two other priests helped with the Polish singing, Washington County native Msgr. Boleslaus Zientek and Houston’s Our Lady Of Czestochowa pastor Fr. Waldemar Matusiak.
