The PRCUA has a rich history. The organization. which held its first convention in Detroit in 1873. decided to assume a Catholic character. As Polish immigrants arrived in large numbers in the late 1800s the PRCUA was integral in helping them become acclimated to the American way of life. In 1891. the Polish Emigration House of S. Joseph was establish in New York City as a haven for immigrants. During this difficult period. the suffering of the poor. widows. and orphans was eased through the groups generosity. The PRCUAs dedication to the arts and enlightenment through education is equally impressive.
