Though the Christmas season had ended, its spirit of giving continued at St. Matthias Church in Ridgewood on Jan. 16, when members of the Polish community threw a post-holiday party for local homeless individuals. As noted, the event was organized by a number of groups including St. Anthony Homeless SOS and the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in New York. Guests were treated to a buffet of hot food as well as a performance by children’s choirs.
