On May 24, 2014, at the Parish of the Name of Mary in Poznań, the Regional Day of Reflection took place. It was led by the Provincial Moderator Father Tadeusz Gajda CR. The day began with the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. Then Father Tadeusz delivered a conference on the topic of Passover, with particular emphasis on the Liturgy of the Paschal Triduum. After that, we met in a fraternal circle, discussing current issues and the upcoming retreats for this year. At 6 PM, a solemn Eucharist began, culminating the celebrations of the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Community of External Brothers at the Parish of the Name of Mary in Poznań Krzyżowniki-Smochowice. The Mass was presided over by Father Tadeusz and Father Mariusz. We served at the altar together with Brothers from Wilda. During the Mass, we renewed our vows. Three of our brothers celebrated the anniversary of their vows: Brother Andrzej the 30th anniversary, Brother Janusz the 25th anniversary, Brother Eugeniusz the 25th anniversary. They all received a special Blessing from Father General Bernard, for which they are particularly grateful. After the Mass, there was an "agape" with wonderful Polish sausage and bigos.
