The passing of a Polish Prince of the Roman Church..

Here is a regal resting place for a prince of St. Albertus, the 1^st Polish Roman Catholic Church in Detroit, Rev. Dominic Kolasinski beloved by many and reviled by the church hierarchy and opposing detractors. Fr. Kolasinski was a lightening rod in the Polish community that elevated the Polish Settlement to a public spectacle in the City of Detroit during many turbulent years. His death on Easter Monday, April 11^th, 1898 attracted 18% of the entire population of the City of Detroit to his funeral on April 13, 1898 an unprecedented gathering of people for anyone at anytime in history of the city.
