In the year 966 Mieszko I was baptized with the rites of the Roman Catholic Church. At that time the first efforts were begun by a missionary bishop to spread the faith to the pagans and to create a national church organization. We cannot but rejoice with the people of Poland and their emigrated brethren everywhere in remembering this historical group of events. From the development of the Polish State and the adoption of a faith which emphasizes the principles of human dignity and freedom which we so deeply cherish there emerged over the centuries a record of national and individual striving for liberty which evokes our admiration and gratitude. The examples of struggling for a mans freedom which Poland has given to our heritage are a source of encouragement to peoples now fighting for liberty throughout the world.
