[==] NEW BR ITAIN HERAL FATHER BOJNOWSKI Tomorrow will mark another milestone in the life and work of Rev. Lucyan Bojnowski, pastor of the Sacred Heart church, who will observe his €1st birthday anniver- &ary in the quiet of his parish house and going about the daily routine in his usual unassuming manner. There 'will be no receptions or public felici- tationa, Father Bojnowski, beloved by thousands of his parishioners and widely known throughout this co! try and abroad for his work as a priest and patriot, was born on Feb- Tuary 21, 1863, in a little village near Smoatki, Poland, the son of Stanis- law and Alexandra Bojnowski.

Mary's seminary at Detroit and in 1895 was ordained to the priesthood.
