Kurs 2026

This year we are celebrating the United States Semiquincentennial and our citizenship.

Registration for Kurs 2026 is now open.

We are only accepting up to eighty (80) campers this year. Anyone may register starting today. If more than 80 register preference will be given to members of the Polish National Catholic Church.

On June 25th registration will fully close and remain closed. Due to the Camp’s popularity and the need to prepare we will not accept anyone for any reason after that date.

You may register here. If your parish is paying for your attendance you do not need to pay the $25 registration fee. The remainder of the fee is due the first day of camp, July 4th.

This year’s camp fee is the same as last year, $350 for Polish National Catholic youth, $450 for others.

We look forward to seeing you.

    Reflection for the 12th Ordinary Sunday 2026

    Reflections
    Jesus said, “Everyone who acknowledges me before others I will acknowledge before my heavenly Father. But whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my heavenly Father." Courage, fortitude, good example, perseverance – the marks of a good father, those we honor this Father’s Day.

    Reflection for the Solemnity of the Word of God 2026

    Reflections
    When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the word of the Lord. Today’s Epistle taken from Acts has a huge backstory and exposition. The verse I just read is the climax of thirty-five prior verses. Paul, Barnabas, and their companions end up in Antioch of Pisidia. As is typical of their routine, they go the Synagogue.

    June 2026 Newsletter - Christ Above All Things

    Reflections
    And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. The end of May marked the end of the Easter Season at Pentecost (May 24th). Following Pentecost we celebrated and will celebrate Trinity Sunday (May 31st), Sunday in the Octave of Corpus Christi (June 7th), and finally Word of God Sunday (June 14th). This wonderful time can be thought of as the Season of the Church. In this season we focus on the mysteries of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Trinity, The Body and Blood of Jesus, and Holy Scripture. In fact, the Church Herself is a mystery

    Reflection for Sunday in the Octave of Corpus Christi 2026

    Reflections
    "Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life within you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life” Three days ago, the Church celebrated the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Body and Blood of Jesus. As with other major Solemnities in the life of the Church, Christmas, Epiphany, Easter, and Pentecost, that day began an eight-day celebration, an Octave.

    Reflection for Trinity Sunday 2026

    Reflections
    For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. We have one God, one Lord, one Savior, one Way, one new life.

    Reflection for the Solemnity of Pentecost 2026

    Reflections
    There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone. To each individual the manifestation of the Spirit is given for some benefit. Jesus enters the upper room and breathes on the Apostles gathered giving them power and authority. Today, fifty days after the Resurrection and ten days after His Ascension the Holy Spirit fills the upper room and descends on all there.

    Reflection for the 7th Sunday of Easter 2026

    Reflections
    “I revealed Your name to those whom You gave me out of the world. They belonged to You, and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.” Christ is Risen! Alleluia! He is truly risen! Alleluia! Last week we discussed the change that was needed in our view. Our limited human view needed transformation and indeed it has been transformed by our faith in Jesus Christ. We now have a Kingdom view that goes far beyond human limits.

    Reflection for the 6th Sunday of Easter 2026

    Reflections
    You are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises” of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Christ is Risen! Alleluia! He is truly risen! Alleluia!

    Reflection for the 5th Sunday of Easter 2026

    Reflections
    You are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people of his own, so that you may announce the praises” of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light. Christ is Risen! Alleluia! He is truly risen! Alleluia!

    May 2026 Newsletter – Saying Yes

    Reflections

    That very day, the first day of the week, two of Jesus’ disciples were going to a village seven miles from Jerusalem called Emmaus.

    Christ is Risen! Alleluia!
    He is truly risen! Alleluia!
