| Our
Congregation arose from the spiritual and cultural needs of
Polish Immigrants and was founded in 1959 by Father Ignacy
Posadzy, a priest of the Society of Christ.
The call of every
Missionary is to boundlessly love God's meter among the Polish
Immigrants and a longing to make a sacrifice of oneself with a
joyful sacrifice of one's strength, comfort and life for the
benefit of Polish Immigrants. In a foreign country we want to
strengthen other's faith and build a piece of our beloved
fatherland through spreading the knowledge of the Eucharist,
teaching religion and cultivating Polish culture, tradition and
language. We conduct choruses, dancing teams, children and youth
theaters, scouts and other groups in parishes.
We embrace
immigrants' families, the elderly, sick and lonely people with
love and care. We also serve in parish offices and kitchens. We
work in eleven places in Poland and in 19 places outside our
borders in England, Australia, Brazil, Germany, Canada, USA and
Blears. In the USA and Canada, we work in Chicago, Illinois;
Sterling Heights, Michigan; Los Angeles and San Jose,
California; Phoenix, Arizona; Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. On
November 24, 1996, on the Solemnity of Christ the King of the
Universe, the Congregation of Consecrated Life Institutes issued
an approval decree, which states that our Congregation has
pontifical rights.
God blesses our
Congregation by sending us new vocations and new proposals for
apostolic places. At the present time, we have 187 professed
members, 21 novices and 14 postulants. The formation house is
located in Poznan, Poland, where girls who desire to actualize
their vocation are coming to live. |
