One Busy Weekend
Summer weekends are often busy ones. That's true for people tackling home projects, but it's also true for the Wawel Folk Ensemble. The weekend of August 14 - 16 was one such weekend.
On Saturday, August 15, members of the Ensemble performed at St. Malachy's annual summer festival. The group's performed at St. Malachy's for many years, and the festival is highly anticipated.
On Sunday, August 16, members of the Ensemble performed at a fundraiser luncheon whose proceeds would help to build a church located in Poland at St. Edmund's parish in Sterling Heights, Michigan. The church being constructed in Poland will contain many items which were found in the now closed Our Lady Help of Christians parish, which was located in Detroit, Michigan.
From St. Edmund's in suburban Detroit, members of the Ensemble traveled to the heart of Detroit to Sweetest Heart of Mary Parish and its annual Pierogi Festival. There the ensemble performed between local polka favorites the Kielbasa Kings and area favorites the Polish Muslims.
Despite the heat, Wawel still delivered two highly energized performances. Wawel's next public appearance is on September 7 at the annual Polish Day Parade in Hamtramck, Michigan.
