ABOUT OUR LIBRARY
The Adam Cardinal Maida Alumni Library serves SS. Cyril and Methodius Seminary, St. Mary's College of Madonna University and St. Mary's Preparatory School in Orchard Lake, Michigan. We have a small but specialized library, most notable for our collection of theological and Polish language books. The books and other items we sell on eBay are either duplicates of material already in our catalog, or donations which don't fit into our collection. All profits go directly to the library and the Polish Mission of the Orchard Lake Schools. Email: am_library@yahoo.com
POPE JOHN PAUL II AND THE ORCHARD LAKE SCHOOLS
Pope John Paul II visited the Orchard Lake Schools in 1969 and 1976, when he was still Cardinal Karol Wojtyla, Archbishop of Krakow. His first visit, at the invitation of Rev. Walter Ziemba, began a long relationship between the Holy Father, known affectionately as "Lolek" by his close friends, and the Orchard Lake Schools. When he returned to America in 1976 for the International Eucharistic Congress in Philadelphia, he would again visit the Orchard Lake Schools, taking time to go kayaking on Orchard Lake and staying in The Castle, a mid-nineteenth century campus building.The Holy Father's affection for the Orchard Lake Schools is legendary. In fact,he jokingly called Detroit "an annex to Orchard Lake," and reminded Polish Americans that "The Polish Seminary is the most important task that we must serve and preserve," because "in the hands of Orchard Lake lies the future of the Polish American people." Even in his final days, he asked Cardinal Adam Maida of Detroit how Orchard Lake was doing. We will always miss our beloved "Lolek."
