For the Kosloski family from Folcroft, the week following Thanksgiving means it’s time to gather for its annual pierogi-making party, a tradition that has continued for four generations, writes Peg DeGrassa for the Delaware County News Network.

The tradition started in the home of Steve and Floss Kosloski and their eight children on Primos Avenue in Folcroft. Although Floss was Irish and Pennsylvania Dutch German by descent, she wanted the children to know their Polish heritage.

Steve’s parents, Charles Kozlowski and Sophia Brczyk Kozlowski, fled Poland for America during World War II. Charles later changed his surname from Kozlowski to Kosloski.

The current location of the pierogi-making party is the home of Tina and Jay Maguire of Norwood. Tina Maguire is the oldest of the Kosloski daughters.

Everyone will take home a tray of about 70 pierogi to freeze. On Christmas Eve morning, they will take them out, sauté or bake them with onion and butter, and bring them to the Swarthmore home of Denise Maguire Stuhltrager, Tina and Jay’s daughter, and her husband Stephen.

There, the entire family meets for the meatless feast.
