Your Excellency,

At the end of Sunday Mass on December 3^rd, 2006, the Pastor of our Mission, Father Jerzy Frydrych, informed the parishioners that he had supplied Your Excellency with a report regarding recent incidents at our Mission, and the overall atmosphere among members of our church.

From the congregation’s point of view, the primary reason for concern is the financial position of our Mission, which the Finance Council explains in the attached letter.

In light of this uncomfortable situation, we would like to ask Your Excellency for assistance in resolving this conflict and discord, and for continued blessing for St. Maximilian Kolbe Polish Mission.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to discuss this directly.

Best regards,

Andrzej Szmidt

Finance Council President
