On Sunday, June 23, 2009 the Parish community of Resurrection Church in Brooklyn, along with the clergy of the Senioriate, gave thanks for 21 years of dedicated service to Resurrection by Fr. Stanislaw Kural, and expressed its gratitude to his wife, Harriet. Diocesan Bishop Anthony Mikovsky wrote a valedictory letter which was read to the congregation, praising Fr. Kural for his pastoral concern and his love of the people of Greenpoint and wishing him well, on behalf of the Prime Bishop and the entire community of the Polish National Catholic Church.
At a reception following Holy Mass, Fr. Kural was given a rousing send off as he embarks on his retirement from active ministry. His many friends in Brooklyn, however, will ensure that he keeps in touch. Parish Chairman Stephen Czanowicki and the White Eagle Society put together a wonderful buffet enjoyed by over 50 guests.
