Editor’s Log Polka Date June, 2024. I finally got to attend a polka mass after all these years. The Mass was said in the Parish Hall of the Holy Rosary Church of Frenstat. Texas. Frenstat is just south of Caldwell. The occasion was the fundraiser to assist young men to attend seminaries on their path to priesthood. Following the Mass a dance was held with the Dujka Brothers and the Czechaholics playing for the crowd. Father Ed Karasek was raised in Frenstat and has led congregations in West and is currently in Lockhart.
