Hi, Joanne!
I am so thrilled with what you found!!! Now I have the name of one of
the babies who died. :-) Yes, I'd love to hear more. I'm fairly
sure my grandparents attended the Polish church since they spoke Polish
(at one time, their part of Austria belonged to Poland).

Hi Shirl,
I'm going away for a few days so let me give you a few more pieces of
info from the top of my head that may click with what you've told me
so far:
1) the Polish parish in Warren was St. Casmir and it has closed,
however, its files have to be kept at another church in the area so
I'll look that up when I return. Since your Mom's folks were from
Austria they may have gone there. The Portuguese parish is St. Thomas
and they are still open. The church with the cemetery is St.
Alexander's (Italian) and they should have the records for it.
2) I am familiar with the last name of Kozik since there is a priest
in the Diocese of Fall River (MA) by that name and I believe he may be
half portuguese. His name is Fr. Thomas Kocik, is stationed at Santo
Christo parish in Fall River and might be someone of interest for you.
When I return I'll look up where the files for St. Casmir's are if you
are interested. Hope this helps for now.
