“Saints and Blessed in Brzezie on the Oder”.

The last day of praying the rosary at the Parish of St. Apostles Matthew and Matthias in Brzezie is an assault of saints. Children who have regularly prayed the rosary as a reward dress up as a saint or blessed given to them, whose relics are in the possession of the parish. This year there were more children who love Our Lady of the Rosary than the parish has relics of, so the others were also able to dress up as a saint they particularly love. Among the saints was also our Servant of God S. Maria Dulcissima. Can you find her?
God be thanked for the Saints who pray for us and for those children and their families who seek strength and support in praying the Rosary.

Remembrance of the saints

Remembrance of the saints

On the Solemnity of All Saints, we turn our thoughts to our patron saints. With gratitude in our hearts, we turn to the saints and blessed of the Church, who care for the glory of God in the Trinity of One, who intercede in our needs.

Our servant of God Sister Dulcissima, who died in the reputation of holiness, asked in prayer: “Jesus , let us all become saints.”

In the first days of November, the resting place of the handmaid of God is exceptionally dressed in flowers and full of light . Many people come to the sister to thank her for her intercession and ask for her intercession before God.

And she subtly reminds them: “You too, must strive for holiness. For it is our duty.”

PILGRIMAGE IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR FOUNDER

PILGRIMAGE IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF OUR FOUNDER

On Saturday, 12.10.2024, in a sisterly group, we set out on a pilgrimage in the footsteps of our Fr. Founder in Wroclaw, to pray and ask for the gift of his beatification, to ask for the grace of perseverance for all sisters and to ask for the gift of numerous new vocations. Each of us also carried our own intentions and requests in our hearts. We prayed for all those who ask God for help through the intercession of God's servant. We began our pilgrimage route at the Motherhouse of our Congregation, the former hostel. Here we rediscovered the remarkable history of the first 40 years of this home and the great work of mercy of protection over the girls, which was accomplished thanks to the heroic faith of Rev. John Schneider and his first sisters. Then, in the chapel of St. Mary's Cathedral in Wroclaw, we recited the chaplet to the Blessed Virgin Mary Immaculately Conceived - the prayer of our Father Founder - to ask by the Heart of the Mother for new vocations to our religious family. We also visited the exhibition dedicated to Fr. Schneider-"Defender of Women.” Then, walking through Ostrow Tumski, at the Church of the Holy Cross we remembered the ordination of our Apostle of Mercy and the beginnings of his priesthood. At the Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Sand, at the tomb of our servant of God, we prayed, participating in Mass, for the beatification of Fr. John Schneider. Our next place of pilgrimage was the Church of the Most Holy Name of Jesus, where Fr. John so zealously pastored for 22 years and where he was parish priest. We recited, before the image of Our Lady Help of Christians of Wroclaw, the act of entrustment to Mary with the words of our founder's prayer. And then, already in cars, we drove to Our Lady in Osobowice. We wanted, as Fr. Jan once did with the first sisters, to pray there and entrust our lives to the Mother of God. In the chapel at Osobowice we prayed the rosary for our deceased sisters and for the sisters who had left the congregation. After praying and pilgrimage together, it was time for a little sisterly picnic and a few moments together. I thank God in the Trinity, Mary our Mother and our beloved Father Founder for our presence, unforgettable moments, praying together for our Congregation, for the act of entrustment, time and wonderful weather😊.
