Episode 38
Polish immigrants in Milwaukee needed a new Church and their pastor was intent on making it happen. And then after construction was about to begin, the federal building in Chicago was slated for destruction. The whole building was brought north in pieces and every piece was repurposed to build the new St. Josaphat church.
