📢 Honouring the 85th Anniversary of the Deportation of Poles to Siberia
Today, on February 10th, we solemnly commemorate the 85th anniversary of the deportation and enslavement of Poles to Siberia, Russia, which began on this day in 1940. This tragic event marks a dark chapter in history, where countless Poles were forcibly taken from their homes, subjected to unimaginable hardships, and endured immense suffering.
Katy Carr, a descendant of a Polish deportation survivor, speaks emotively about today’s anniversary of the deportation of 2 million Poles to Siberia in 1940.

A Prayer for the Polish Victims of Siberia
Heavenly Father,
We gather today to remember the countless Polish men, women, and children who were forcibly taken to Siberia, enduring unimaginable hardships and suffering. We honour their resilience, courage, and enduring spirit in the face of overwhelming adversity.
Lord, we ask You to grant eternal rest to those who perished during this tragic chapter of history. May their souls find peace in Your loving embrace. We also pray for the survivors and their descendants, that they may find solace in the memory of their ancestors’ strength and perseverance.
Bless us, O Lord, with the wisdom to remember and learn from the past, so that we may work towards a future where such atrocities never occur again. Fill our hearts with compassion and understanding, and guide us in our efforts to promote peace, justice, and reconciliation.
In Your holy name, we pray.
Amen.

Modlitwa za Polskie Ofiary Syberii
Ojcze Niebieski,
Zgromadziliśmy się dziś, aby wspomnieć niezliczonych polskich mężczyzn, kobiety i dzieci, którzy zostali przymusowo wywiezieni na Syberię, znosząc niewyobrażalne trudności i cierpienia. Oddajemy cześć ich niezłomności, odwadze i niezłomnemu duchowi w obliczu przytłaczającej przeciwności losu.
Panie, prosimy Cię, abyś dał wieczny odpoczynek tym, którzy zginęli w czasie tej tragicznej części historii. Niech ich dusze znajdą spokój w Twoich kochających ramionach. Modlimy się również za tych, którzy przetrwali, oraz ich potomków, aby znaleźli pocieszenie w pamięci o sile i wytrwałości swoich przodków.
Błogosław nas, Panie, mądrością, abyśmy pamiętali i uczyli się z przeszłości, abyśmy mogli dążyć do przyszłości, w której takie okrucieństwa nigdy więcej się nie zdarzą. Napełnij nasze serca współczuciem i zrozumieniem i prowadź nas w naszych wysiłkach na rzecz promocji pokoju, sprawiedliwości i pojednania.
W Twoje święte imię modlimy się.
Amen.
