Andrew Muc enjoys many opportunities to volunteer and contribute to his local community, and is proud to offer his time to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa. The shrine, where Andrew Muc volunteers regularly as an usher, is located in Doylestown, Pennsylvania and was established in 1955 as a religious and community hub for Polish Americans in the United States. The shrine was originally built on a 40-acre rural property in Doylestown that features a church, a barn chapel, a cemetery and rosary garden, and of course the shrine itself.
"The shrine is an important place for
Polish-Americans," according to Andrew Muc. "It provides
Polish-Americans with a chance to remember and experience their rich cultural
heritage." Andrew Much loves being a part of this community, and is glad
he can help by volunteering his time. He looks forward to the annual
Polish-American Family Festival & Country fair, which the Shrine of Our
Lady of Czestochowa puts on each September. The festival features Polish arts
and crafts, demonstrations, and of course delicious Polish food and drink.
The National Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa recently
added the Ave Maria Retreat house, which makes it possible for pilgrims to rest
and recuperate at the shrine. The facility can accommodate up to 80 overnight
guests. Andrew Muc was happy to see the shrine offer this new addition; it can
give Polish-Americans from greater distances the chance to visit and experience
this important institution for their cultural heritage.
Andre Muc is proud to be a part of this community, and hopes
to continue his volunteer work with the shrine. Andrew Muc always enjoys
spending time at the Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa, whether attending
services and events or experiencing and admiring to gardens and the Shrine's
beautiful surroundings.
