For decades, I’ve written about my Polish family kitchen love for fresh dill in my columns and cookbooks.
A “parade” of semi-trucks and RVs drive around the pathway in front of the Our Lady of Czestochowa Shrine each June for a celebration which includes receiving a blessing from Fr. Mikolaj Markiewicz, who serves as superior of the Salvatorians of Merrillville.
On Sunday, June 9, a special noon Polish mass at the shrine marks the seventh annual Pilgrimage and Blessing of Polish Truckers and RVs. “It’s a wonderful event and I attend it annually,” said Ann, who also represents the NWI Polish American Cultural Society. This annual trucker pilgrimage was founded in 2018 by Czosnyka, due to his heritage and interests as owner of the transport company in Merrillville since he is a member of the Our Lady of Czestochowa Shrine community. Having logged more than 3 million miles as a professional truck driver, Czosnyka credits his faith for aiding him in safe travels and easing the loneliness of being separated from his family on long journeys.
Stasia Podczerwinski, left, of Crown Point and her sister-in-law, Zosia Podczerwinski of Valparaiso, both natives of Poland, have been the caterers at the Our Lady of Czestochowa Shrine’s Millennium Hall in Merrillville since Aug. 2019. Columnist Philip Potempa has published four cookbooks and is the director of marketing at Theatre at the Center.

Add in the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, salt, pepper and mix well with hands and form meatballs.
