Hey, there are definitely catholic polish churches, near Boston, at the very least. Trust me. I've been dragged, and the masses are predominantly in Polish. Plus, they ship in priests from Poland. It's all kind of odd, but existing.

All true, but Boston was not founded by Catholics (which is what the article claimed.) By the way, Boston's early Catholic population did not have any significant number of Poles or Italians (not sure about the Irish.) The first Catholic bishop, Cheverus, was French.
