The Polka Mass is the same worship service celebrated in the Roman Catholic tradition but utilizing a unique mode of music. Folk music, cherished by generations of Slovenian and Croatian people, has been especially arranged and adapted with hymn lyrics in English. These old ethnic melodies are presented in the polka and waltz stylings of Joe Cvek and his orchestra and are sung bin reverence by the congregation and the Choraleers.
