Welcome to Our Inaugural Issue!

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

"The Hejnał" is a new project of Our Lady of Częstochowa Church in Turners Falls, Mass.

Each month, you can expect inspiring articles that will enrich your faith. Quotes from the saints and Church Fathers will deepen your prayer life.

Each issue will have a particular focus on devotions for that month, or on items of interest to Catholics.

You can expect solid Catholic teaching, fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church, and respect for the Holy Father.

The Catholic Church has been in the news a great deal lately, and the reports are often written by the Church’s enemies. Imagine how refreshing it will be to read articles written by those who love the Bride of Christ and who defend her traditions and faith!

We hope you will look forward to this free publication in your mailboxes each month, and here on the website. We encourage you to share "The Hejnał" with your friends and families.

We welcome comments and requests for articles. Please email us at thehejnal@gmail.com or use the comment form at the end of each post.

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.
