* 1er séjour sur le sol Américain, entré clandestinement aux Usa, depuis le Canada, à Niagara Falls...
** Ce Mercredi 29 Mai 1912, au départ de Cuxhaven, les cornes de brumes du SS Amerika, n'ont pu qu'amplifier le degrès d'angoisse éprouvé par les passagers, personne n'avait oublié la tragédie du dimanche 14 avril (50 jours plus tôt).
Ce jour-lò, le plus grand paquebot jamais construit, qualifié d'insubmersible, sombrait sur cette même route, faisant au moins 1500 victimes... Le RMS Titanic, lui aussi construit par les chantiers Britannique "Harland and Wolff"
*** Les derniers roubles russes et couronnes autrichiennes, laissés par les anciens occupants, sont échangés en 1920 contre des Marks Polonais,
dont l'impression a commencé depuis un an, et qui deviennent la monnaie unique de Pologne.
Par rapport au dollar, le mark polonais est dévalué de 80.000 fois en cinq ans.
Hyper-inflation sous la République de Weimar
En 1914 1 Us $ vaut 4,20 Marks,
le 21 octobre 1922 il faut 4430 marks pour 1 us $,

53 000 000 le 7 septembre
et 4 2000 000 000 le 20 novembre 1923.
En 1924, un changement de monnaie est opéré, et la nouvelle reprend le nom de złotys, longtemps utilisée en Pologne. Le taux est de 1.8000.000 marks pour 1 złotys.

Holy Trinity Roman Catholic Church Complex

is a historic Polish, Roman Catholic and former church located at Niagara Falls in Niagara County, New York within the Diocese of Buffalo.
The complex was constructed between 1906 and 1914 and consists of the church, school, rectory, convent, and garage.
The church is built of random course stone walls and has a steeply pitched, slate shingled gable roof.
It features a central facade tower with spire and Romanesque Revival detailing.
The complex was purchased by a not-for-profit group, Niagara Heritage of Hope and Service, in 2009.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

PASTOR OF HOLY TRINITY 1911-1921
Rev. Alexander PITASS,
a well known pastor of St. Stanislaus Parish in Buffalo, New York, was born in Piekarach na Slazku, Siliesia.
He was the son of Nicholas and Julia Letocha Pitass.
He was educated in Poland as a youth, and came to the United States in 1893, entering St Francis Seminary near Milwaukee Wisconson.
He remained there until 1898 and then completed studies for the priesthood at the Polish College in Rome, Italy,
and was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Buffalo, New York, in October 28, 1903.
When he returned to the United States, he was appointed assistant pastor of St. Stanislaus parish in Buffalo.
His pastor was the founding pastor of the parish and his uncle, Rev. John Pitass.
In 1900, he was made pastor of Holy Trinity Parish in Niagara Falls and, upon the death of his uncle in 1914,
was appointed to succeed his uncle at St. Stanislaus.
Msgr Pitass was Officialis of the Diocese, a diocesan trustee, synodal examiner and a member of the board
of Directors of the Diocesan Paper, the Union and Echo.
In addition, he was president of the Polish Clergymen's Associaton, and often headed delegations of Buffalo priests
to national meetings of the Polish Clergy.
He was the recipient of many awards for his work.
Msgr. Pitass was active in supporting the cause of a free and restored Poland after both World Wars.
His brother, Rev. Peter Pitass was also a priest of the Diocese of Buffalo.
