Nice video which just came out on the Miracle on the Vistula in August 1920 in which Polish forces, supported by volunteers from many Western nations, including the US, defeated the Bolshevik invaders. I would note that the term Miracle on the Vistula is a contemporary one, many of the Polish participants attributing the victory to Mary. The Polish people prayed for a miracle and they received one. The saving grace for Man in this Vale of Tears is that God rarely leaves us to our own devices for long, no matter how much we might richly deserve to be.

There’s a replica of the top mural in Saint Josephat’s Catholic Church in Detroit. It occupies the transept to the left of the high altar.
Yes, a proudly-Catholic parish in a part of Detroit which had three parishes for the Poles within a mile and a half of each other on the same street.
