THE CROSS signifies suffering and consecration for others.
THE PALM stands for peace.
The motto of the Church is “WITH TRUTH, WORK, AND STRUGGLE, WE WILL SUCCEED”

I am a minister in thbe Episcopal Diocese of New York and have served the same Harkem congregation as its vicar for the past 28 years.
I was well acquainted with the late Bishop Eugene W. Magyar, who headed the Slovak parishes of the PNCC of which, apparently, only two remain – one in Passaic and the other in Perth Amboy. There are many new Slovak immigrants in the Greater New York area. Has the church made any effort to reach out to these people?
Also, I knew the late Senior Rene Zawistowski of the Holy Cross PNCC parish in Manhattan. It seceded from the PNCC and eventually disbanded.
It seems a great pity that the PNCC does not put forth the effort to have an active and ongoing witness in Manhattan.
Just reading the comments from William M. Savoy, has upset me. Yes, why hasn’t our church reached out to the Slovack and Polish or any other nationality in the Manhatten area?
It is a very sad situation when people are seeking a place to worship besides the Roman Catholic tradition, that they aren’t given a chance to see how wonderful and loving our faith and parishoners are.
Also, why do we not reach out to our communities by offering programs in which children can “hang” out in the church hall maybe the priest and a few parishoners or even the parents of some of the children, chaperone the activities. Maybe, there wouldn’t be so much termoil with children. I really believe they have not had many people in the world to look up to, so they seek the hip hop music, which some of it, teaches them to be destructive and tough. If they are shown love and concern maybe we can help them survive the life which at times at home, is unbearable.
Maybe there is someone in that area and anywhere we have a PNCC church, who will seek to help the community more in the future and I will be happy to see that happen. And so will our Lord Jesus Christ!
Thank you for your time. God bless us all!

I apologize for the late response, but for some reason your comment went to the spam box and not the inbox.
You are more than right! Our faith, the PNCC Faith is the faith that many Christians are searching for, but we are doing a horrible job of promoting and witnessing for our Church.
It is frustrating, but a new vision for the PNCC will become a reality soon, it has to if we plan on surviving as a Catholic denomination in the United States,
