Ordination Anniversary Celebration
On Saturday, July 17, 2010, members of the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed at a reception celebrating the 50th and 30th Anniversary of the ordination to the priesthood of Fr. George Rutkowski and Fr. Andrew Wesley.
Fr. George is the Former pastor of Our Lady Help of Christians in Detroit, Michigan and Fr. Andy currently serves as the pastor of Transfiguration Parish in Detroit, Michigan and St. Ladislaus Parish in Hamtramck, Michigan. Both Fr. George and Fr. Andy have been long time supporters of Wawel, and the ensemble was thrilled that they were asked to be a part of the celebration. Wawel presented its Sieradz and Rzeszow suites as well as the Karolina Polka at the reception. Following the performance, Wawel and the other reception attendees joined in singing Sto Lat to Fr. George and Fr. Andy.
