Happy Independence Day - my American experience
I became a citizen of the United States in 2008. This was a great time for me. For the first time I felt being totally
united with my American people. However,
I never felt like I was looked down by my teachers or classmates or neighbors
before I became a seminarian and a priest.
When I was in the seminary I was considered an international
seminarian. They called me a Polish
seminarian. When I became a priest the
people - priests in the church started to call me an international priest or a
Polish priest.
Yes, I am Polish. But
also, I am an American. When I became a
priest I was already an American. I had
an American passport and I was proud of that.
So, I have to stop people to call me a Polish priest or a Polish
boy. I am a Polish – American priest and
a boy. And I am proud of that.
May America be blessed. I am so happy I live in the United States of
America and I can contribute to this beautiful country.
Happy 4th of July.
