Moreover, the new Province has been established under the title of St. Maximilian M. Kolbe. \u201c With these words of the Decree issued on March 19, 1986, thirty-five years ago, the then Minister General, Friar Lanfranco SERRINI, established a new Province of the Order, headquartered in Gda\u0144sk, Poland.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Jubilee was celebrated as part of the Feast Day of the Province. The feast day took place on October 9, 2021, in the recently opened friary in Inowroc\u0142aw, Poland. The same day, thirty-five years ago, marked the conclusion of the first Chapter of the newly established Province of St. Maximilian M. Kolbe. This year\u2019s Province feast day is also linked to the 25th anniversary of the presence of the friars of the Province of Gdansk in Ecuador. Those participating in the feast day included many friars of the Province who reside in Poland, Italy, and Lithuania.<br \/>\nThe feast day began with some words of welcome from the Guardian of the friary in Inowroc\u0142aw, Friar Daniel PLISZKA. The friars then prayed Midmorning Prayer. Afterwards, Professor Edmund MIKO\u0141AJCZAK, an honorary citizen of Inowroc\u0142aw, gave a lecture entitled <em>\u201cFranciscan Inowroc\u0142aw.\u201d<\/em> dedicated to the theme of the centuries-long presence of the Conventuals and its significance for the spirituality, culture and daily life of the inhabitants of the city.<br \/>\nMass was celebrated at noon, presided over by the Minister Provincial, Friar Wojciech KULIG. In his homily, Friar Wojciech said, \u201cToday we thank God\u2019s Providence for the thirty-five years of the friars\u2019 constant attention to the Word of the Lord and their full acceptance and fulfillment of his will. We are grateful for each friar, for every work that forms the specific charism of our Province. Brothers, while we have time, let us do good!\u201d<br \/>\nDuring the Mass, the <em>\u201cAmore pro Amore\u201d<\/em> medal was awarded to Marek WO\u0179NIAK, President of the Wielkopolska Voivodeship, [Greater Poland Province]. His name was also included in the prayers of thanksgiving recited in the friaries and inscribed in the special book of benefactors of the Province.<br \/>\nThe celebration of the Provincial feast day ended with Evening Prayer, led by the Provincial Vicar, Friar Andrzej LENGENFELD.
