About us

The late Prime Bishop Franciszek Hodur organized the Polish National Union

of America in 1908, eleven years after the organization of the Polish National

Catholic Church. Since its inception the Polish National Union served the

people in America as well as in Poland. One of the initial purposes of Spojnia

was to help people belonging to the Polish National Catholic Church and others

who shared in the organization's goal to achieve financial security. This action

brought about an important idea to promote brotherly love and to maintain a

sense of identity.

Headquartered in Scranton Pennsylvania since 1908, the Polish National Union

of America has lived up to Bishop Hodur's high standards by providing material

and spiritual security to the members and friends of the Polish National Catholic

Church. This spirit of cooperation between Spojnia's leaders and members

brought about the means, the force, and the responsibilities of deeds to meet the

challenges of today.

From the signing of its first member, John Drwal in 1908, the Polish National

Union of America has remained true to its principles and has grown in

membership over the years to nearly 25,000 members, making the Polish

National Union of America a strong fraternal helping people for generations

Today, as in 1908, the Polish National Union of America consistently provides

its membership with quality fraternal insurance products and an avenue for

participation in the Polish National Union of America's religious, national and

ethnic heritage.

With grass-roots ties to the Polish National Catholic Church, the Polish

National Union of America works closely with the church and its members to

perpetuate Bishop Hodur's philosophy.

To date, the Polish National Union of America has provided millions of dollars

in the form of loans and subsidies to Polish National Catholic Church parishes

and Polish National Union of America members. "Spojnia" has also provided

thousands of families the security of affordable, quality insurance and annuity

products.

Remember...the Polish National Union of America is not only an insurance

association, it is a fraternal organization, with a deep commitment to its

members through the development of numerous fraternal activities and

programs on both regional and district levels.

As a fraternal organization, the Polish National Union of America has no

stockholders. Instead every insured member has a voice in the management and

operation of the organization and can exercise his or her rights by participating

in local branch activities or by being elected to national committees and board

positions. Currently, there are more than one hundred fifty branches throughout

the Polish National Union of America network.

Today, we are forging ahead to build an even stronger fraternal organization.

Only with your membership can we grow and succeed. Let's "join hands to

touch lives," and forge a greater and brighter tomorrow.
