HAMTRAMCK, Mich. (AP) — A candlelight vigil and memorial mass
honoring Poland’s president, first lady and 94 others who died in a
plane crash has been scheduled in Hamtramck.

The vigil will begin Tuesday evening at Zussman Park and will be
followed by a procession to Our Lady Queen of Apostles Church.

The plane crashed Saturday near Katyn, Russia, where Polish
officials were traveling to mark the 70th anniversary of the Soviet
Union’s 1940 execution of 22,000 Polish military officers.

The Rev. Bogdan Milosz (Bog-Dahn) (MEE’-Lohs) of Our Lady Queen
of Apostles told parishioners Sunday that those who died have
“flown into eternity.”

He told parishioners in historically Polish Hamtramck that the
tragedy will focus attention on the mysteries still surrounding the
massacre.
