At the conclusion of the 40 Hours exposition of the Blessed Sacrament at St. Joseph/St. Stanislaus Parish in Summit Hill there was a surprise in store for three people, Mary Kulpa of St. Joseph’s and sisters Irene and Victoria Michalik of St. Stanislaus.
They were honored for their years of service and their witness to the Catholic faith when the Rev. James Torpey, pastor, presented them Apostolic Blessings from the Pope.
Kulpa served St. Joseph Church for 60 years in various capacities while the Michalik sisters were cited for their roles in the Sodality and choir of St Stanislaus Church.
The ceremony was the fifth year of presenting the blessings from Rome to parishioners who exemplify Catholic living.
