They have remained conscious of their Polish ancestry yet identify themselves with American society. growing more and more prominent in literature. scholarship. music. and art. Since the Second World War they have assisted many refugees and displaced persons in becoming an integral part of the American life they and their ancestors have enjoyed and enriched for over 300 years. The Poles brought to the United States young and sturdy laborers who were willing and eager to use their hands. hearts. and brains in the service of a growing America. These people brought with them not only the crafts and folklore of their country but also a spiritual strength which has contributed to the religious growth of America.
