On April 29-30, 2019, the spring meeting of the Franciscan Missionary Council was held at the House of Reconciliation and Meetings in the Province of St. Maximilian M. Kolbe in Poland (Gda\u0144sk).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friars in charge of missionary animation for their respective Polish Provinces in the Order met together to work on some joint initiatives to be implemented this year. First, there was the Extraordinary Missionary Month project, which has been declared by the Holy Father, Pope Francis [October, 2019]. It will mark the 100th anniversary of the publication of the Apostolic Letter Maximum illud<\/em> by Pope Benedict XV. The Pontiff intended his document to reawaken an awareness of missionary duty throughout the Church.
\nThe Missionary Month slogan is, \u201cBaptized and Sent: The Church of Christ on a Mission in the World\u201d. The Pope stressed that this Missionary Month should help awaken awareness of the mission ad gentes, and take up the missionary transformation of life and pastoral ministry with fresh energy. It is important that all the faithful be truly attentive in proclaiming the Gospel and transforming their communities into missionary and evangelizing realities, because the love of mission is love for Jesus and for his people.
\nThe mission animators then scheduled a meeting to integrate the Franciscan missionaries in Zakopane, Poland. They planned an annual missionary workshop for Franciscan seminarians to be held this year at the end of the summer holidays in Katowice-Panewniki, Poland. They scheduled a scientific symposium on \u201cMissionary Activity of the Polish Franciscan Provinces at the Service of the Gospel\u201d to be held on November 29, 2019, in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, Poland.
\nThey celebrated Mass in the chapel of the Provincial Curia, presided over by Minister Provincial, Friar Jan MACIEJOWSKI. He urged the friars to engage in missionary work and sacrifice following the example of St. Wojciech (Adalbert), the Patron Saint of Poland, whose feast day was recently celebrated. As President of the Conference of Major Superiors of Men\u2019s Institutes in Poland, Friar Jan also met with the members of the Council and thanked them for their commitment to the mission\u2014an important factor in our ministry which gives spirit and new impetus to religious life.
\nThe friars also got to visit the monastic complex and church of the Holy Trinity in Gdansk, which this year celebrates its 600th anniversary.
\nThe Franciscan Missionary Council has been working for over twenty years on behalf of Major Superiors of Men\u2019s Institutes in Poland to promote missionary animation and missionary activity, especially among young friars. It covers ten Provinces of the three branches of the First Order of Saint Francis: OFM, OFM Conv., and OFM Cap.
\nThe current President is Friar Robert KOZIELSKI, OFM Conv., from the Province of St. Maximilian M. Kolbe in Poland (Gda\u0144sk).<\/p>\n
