Wawel at Sweetest Heart of Mary Pierogi Festival
On
Sunday, August 10, 2014, the Wawel Folk Ensemble performed at Sweetest Heart ofMary Church in Detroit, Michigan’s annual Pierogi Festival. Wawel’s performance included its Cieszyn,
Kaszëbë, Biłgoraj, and Sieradz suites as well as Kądziołeczka. For this performance, the ensemble debuted
new strój cieszyński.
The
Sweetest Heart Festival has been seen increased attendance numbers over the
past several years. This year’s festival
was no exception. Attendance numbers
were, no doubt, boosted with the Mass Mob taking place down the street at
neighboring St. Albertus Church.
Wawel
has a long history with Sweetest Heart of Mary performing at the Pierogi
Festival since its inception as well as participating in procession at its
midnight mass on Christmas Eve and at its Resurrection Mass on Easter
Sunday. Additionally, many members of
the ensemble are parishoners at the parish.
