Panna Maria was founded by Father Leopold Moczygemba and about 100 Silesian families from Pluznica, and surrounding villages of Silesia, Poland. They left Poland and after a nine-week voyage at sea, they reached the Port of Galveston.

ReplyDeleteI'm Michael-Ann's mother and I had called them to see what their plans are (and your folks' plans down in Corpus) with regards to this latest hurricane.
