On November 11-13, 2016 we hosted at the Museum and Archives a group of our Sisters from the Przemysl Province. It was a formation meeting for the Sisters before Tertianship. Sisters shared together the word of Bl. Mary Angela after a previous introduction on Lectio Epistuli; they participated in the Eucharistic Liturgy at the altar with Mother?s relics; they experienced a specific Transitus exactly in Mother?s cell where in 1899 she passed to eternity. The Sisters also had the opportunity to listen to presentation on. Mother Angela?s Genealogy, they toured the Museum and “touched” the treasures kept in the Archives.

The Sisters returned to their communities with joyful and grateful hearts.

On November 6 there was the first, after the summer break, encounter with Blessed Mary Angela. Today we pondered over Mother Angela?s letters to Sister Mary Colette Sliwinska. In passages that we read one could see Mother?s exceptionally heartfelt relationship with Sister Colette. Matters considered in the letters are very personal and touching her path to holiness.

In the evening, on October 9, already as every year, we took part in Transitus, that means a commemoration of Bl. Mary Angela?s passing from this earth to heaven. Several of the Sisters came from the nearby local houses and from the Provincialate so to be united together in prayer.

During the ceremony, each Sister received a holy card with a “testament” of Bl. Mary Angela.

From September 30 to October 2 a meeting was held for the Nurse Sisters from three Polish Provinces. From each province arrived three Sisters, and from the Province of Krakow, taking advantage from the vicinity of the place, came additional Sisters according to their possibilities of the apostolate.

The Coordinators of the Cult of Blessed Mary Angela from America, Kenya and Poland met in Krakow on September 6 ? 9, 2016. The enriching program of the meeting, which took place mostly in the provincial house at Smolensk Street, foresaw a presentation and a tour of the Museum and Archives.

Already on the next day after the conclusion of the World Youth Day the Sisters participating in the Tertianship, directed by SM Franciszka Stepniewska gathered in our Museum and Archives. As a part of the meeting was the presentation on the Canonization Process of our Blessed Mary Angela, tour of the Museum and meeting in the Archives to “touch” the original memorabilia of our Blessed Foundress.

For over two weeks the entire Poland, and Krakow in particular, was experiencing a special time of immediate preparation for World Youth Day. The streets of Krakow slowly were filling by the young crowd with colorful backpacks and speaking in many different languages. Also in our Museum and Archives it became colorful and one could hear different languages. On Tuesday, 26 July, 2016 the Felician Sisters from North America came to us with a group of young people from Felician Schools. All of them could tour the Museum, but due to limited space they had to do this in smaller groups.

During the last week of July, when the entire Poland and Krakow were filled with joyful youth from all corners of the world, our Museum and Archives has become a center for the Felician Youth from the Polish Provinces. For this special time to the Museum came Postulants, Novices, Sisters in temporary profession and young sisters in perpetual profession from Warsaw and Przemysl. Full of enthusiasm they participated in catechesis, concerts and, of course, in all the meetings with Pope Francis.

On June 15, 2016 in the afternoon our Museum and Archives was visited by Senior Citizens from the Parish Senior. They came together with their priest, Fr. Albert Wołkiewicz and the Sisters from the Congregation of the Canonesses of the Holy Spirit: Sr. Fidelisa and Sr. Benigna. Our guests visited the entire Museum in order to deepen their knowledge of Bl. Mary Angela of whom they heard during one of their regular meetings from our Sisters of the Province of Krakow.

On June 13, 2016 the Museum and Archives hosted the Sisters from the Second Novitiate of the Krakow Province with their Director, preparing themselves to make perpetual vows. The aim of the meeting was not visiting the Museum, because each Sister was in our Museum and Archives already many times, as much as to participate in the presentation on: The spirit of Atonement in the Felician Congregation and Devotion to the Holy Face.
