"After naming a street corner after Pope John Paul II, the city's Polish community wanted to do a little more to celebrate their favorite saint.
"They did just that Sunday when church members and others dedicated a mural of the late pontiff on the wall of a towing company in a section of the city in need of a little sprucing up.
"'We wanted to show off our saint,' said Tomek Moczerniuk, a member of the St. Michael The Archangel parish, who helped organize the effort to create the mural.
"The painting takes up one wall and a side of the large building at the corner of Pulaski and Kossuth streets, an area previously renamed as John Paul II Corner."
A recent article in the Connecticut Post reported on this initiative in the city of Bridgeport.
