On September 26, 2003 Super Express reported that "the Polish community of New Jersey is urging the Church of Our Lady of Czestochowa to restart a Polish language mass. The 100-year-old church, built by immigrants from Poland, discontinued the Polish mass in 2001... A festival on September 24th commemorating Our Lady of Czestochowa’s Day served as a platform for the Polish congregation in the neighborhood to express their grievance. The parishioners who gathered on the corner of Sussex and Grant Streets claimed nothing would convince Priest Tomas Iwanowski to restart the Polish mass."
