Dozens of residents gathered at St. Raphael’s parish last Saturday for the fourth annual Polish Knight.
No, that’s not a typo — the evening, hosted by the East Meadow Pope Pius XII Council Knights of Columbus, celebrates Polish culture. Community members enjoyed a spread of Polish food, while music from the central European country was featured inside the church.
Raffles were also sold throughout the evening, and a portion of the event’s profits will be used to fund church repairs.
