On October 20-24, 2024, a spiritual retreat was conducted for assistants, presidents and animators of the Militia of the Immaculata (M.I.). The retreat took place at the friary in Niepokalanów Lasek, a presence of the Province of the Immaculate Mother of God in Poland (Warsaw).

Seventeen people attended the retreat. It was led by Friar Stanisław Maria PIĘTKA, with help from Friar Mirosław Maria KOPCZEWSKI, the M.I. Assistant of the Province. The main theme of the retreat was: “The M.I. within the Church Community.”
The participants listened to the Word of God preached at each Mass and during meditations, such as: “The Faith of the M.I. Member in the Church of Christ” and “Defending and Developing the Church of Christ; the Ever Present Task of the M.I.”
During this time spent in the company of the Immaculate Mother and St. Maximilian, the participants had plenty of opportunities to discuss their faith experiences, as they occurred in M.I. communities or in family settings.
The participants also received a visit from Friar Ryszard Maria ŻUBER, the National President of the M.I. in Poland.
