In 2025, we celebrate two remarkable Jubilees in our Church and our Community – the 100th Jubilee of the Polish Language School at the Holy Trinity Parish in Windsor as well as the 60th Anniversary of the presence of the Ursuline Sisters AJH here in Canada.

We warmly invite all the Parishioners, Parents, Alumni, and Friends of the School!

As we celebrate both Jubilees, we wish to express our appreciation to all those who contributed to the development of the Polish School and the parish community, as well as  those who have supported  and continue to support the Ursuline Sisters of the Agonizing Heart of Jesus with their kindness and prayers. May this be a time of joy and gratitude for all the blessings we have received over the years!

On February 1, 2024, Private Members’ Business on Polish Heritage Month in Canada, Motion M-75, was debated by MPs in the House of Commons. It was a pleasure to hear some impressive opinions about the major contribution of Canadians of Polish heritage, who built a better Canada.
