Christ is Risen! Alleluia! Wojciech Mleczko, CR Foreword The publication of “Resurrectionist spirituality: from perso- nal to social renewal” coincides with the 175th anniversary of the vows of the first Resurrectionists. This event took place on Easter Sunday, 27th March 1847 in the catacombs of St. Sebastian in Rome. The founder of the Congregation and the inspirator of its spirituality, Bogdan Jański who personally experienced the transformative love of God and a spiritual resurrection did not live to see ‘the birth’ of the first Resurrectionists. On that Sunday morning the vows were made first by Fr. Peter Semenenko, and then the others of the new religious congregation made vows before him. Fr. Peter was not only the first ‘official’ superior but, above all, he was the ‘brains’ of the operation and the author of its rule. His works in philosophy and theology provided the intellectual foundation for new school of spirituality. It is no sur- prise then that the texts found in this publication concentrate on his ideas, which he himself lived and propagated as a religious writer, spiritual director and homilist. I thank Fr. Wojciech Mleczko CR, who is the link between our Congregation and The Spirituality of the Media and Social Relations of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Kraków Department, for yet another worthy initiative. By publishing this book in English we make possible the popularization of Polish theological thought to a wider audience. I also extend my thanks to the authors of these articles and texts and to Fr. James Gibson CR, 10 Fr. Bernard Hylla CR the secretary general and head of the International Resurrection Studies Commission for his professionalism in helping to prepa- re the texts in English. Fr. Bernard Hylla CR Superior General Rome, March 27, 2017 On the 175th anniversary of the religious vows of the Resurrectionists Wojciech Mleczko, CR An Introduction to Resurrectionist Spirituality Resurrectionist spirituality is rooted in the history of the Con- gregation of the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It is based on the spiritual experience of Bogdan Jański, the founder of the community, and on life and teachings of Peter Semenenko, co-fo- under of the Congregation. Further, this spirituality was adopted by other Resurrectionists (e.g. Jerome Kajsiewicz, servant of God Paul Smolikowski), Blessed Marceline Darowska (foundress of the Immaculate Conception Sisters), Blessed Celine Borzęcka and her daughter, servant of God Hedwig Borzęcka (foundresses of Sisters of the Resurrection) and many other priests, sisters and lay people. The aim of this paper is to introduce the fundamental issu- es concerning Resurrectionist spirituality by giving basic infor- mation on history of the Congregation of the Resurrection, on Bogdan Jański and Peter Semenenko, as well as by describing the main elements of this spirituality and defining the Resurrec- tionist school of spirituality. 1. Congregation of the Resurrection In the “Historical Preface” to the Constitutions of the Con- gregation the beginning of the community are described: “The Congregation of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ began in Parish, France, on Ash Wednesday, February 17, 1836, under the leadership of Bogdan Jański. After the death of the founder on July 2, 1840, his disciples continued to develop his ideas and to live in community under the direction of Peter Semenenko and Jerome Kajsiewicz, the cofounders of the Congregation. On Easter Sunday, March 27, 1842, along with five other clerics, they professed their first religious vows in the Catacombs of St. Sebastian in Rome. The first Rule was written during the Len- ten season of 1842 and became the basis for community life and personal sanctification. They were inspired to dedicate themsel- ves to the Risen Saviour and to call themselves

It is especially worth noting that the decision about the canonization and its date was announced public- ly precisely on the day of our university’s pilgrimage to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. It was during a consistory on September 30th 2013 that Pope Francis announced that he would canonize two popes, John XXIII and John Paul II, on April 27th 2014, Divine Mercy Sunday. It immediately became apparent that this would be a unique event that would forever remain etched in our memories. Along with the inauguration of the new academic year, preparations for the fullest experience of the canonization of John Paul II – the founder, caring guardian and ultimately illustrious patron of the university – were undertaken. These were not only preparations related to the organization of travel to the canonization ceremony, but above all those whose purpose was to deepen the knowledge of the great Polish pope and the popular- ization of his teachings. Symposia and academic conferences organized on this occasion will be presented below in separate summaries. It was with great joy that we heard the words of the formula for canonization

  • CHURCH of ST. ADALBERT 1903-1978 Grane Street Hill, 550 Lansing Street, Schenectady, NY 12303 (Jubilee Book)
    CHURCH OF ST. ADALBERT 1903-1978 Grane Street Hill, 550 Lansing Street, Schenectady, NY 12303 (Jubilee Book) Crested on a hill stands the Church of St. Adalbert, its magnificent steeple spiralling heavenward, a reminder of the Shrine of Our Lady of Częstochowa (Jasna Góra), the spiritual and cultural focal point of Poland. Thus located, it offers a panoramic view of the City of Schenectady. As the Documents of Vatican Council II underscored, the Church is primarily people-God's people. More than two centuries before the establishment of the Church, Polish immigrants were known to be living in America, among them Albert Zaborowski. One of his descendants, John Lansing Zabriskie, was living in Schenectady in 1792. John, who in 1795 subscribed funds toward petitioning the New York State Regents to establish Union College, was a member of its first graduating class. Records further indicate that Ludwig Gapczynski, after serving in the Civil War, took up residence with his wife on Veeder Avenue in 1865. Not only was he the first Pole to become a citizen in Sche- nectady (in 1868), but his son, William, was the first person of Polish descent born in the City. A tailor by trade until his hands were severely burned, Ludwig then opened the first Polish grocery on Ferry Street. This was a blessing for the Polish women who, lacking adequate English, were forced to bring samples of coffee, pepper, sugar, and other foodstuffs wherever they shopped. The store also served as a place where friends met to exchange news. The Gapczynski family, through their subsequent travel agency and banking interest, encouraged and assisted other Polish families to settle here.

The First Decade of the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow Abstract The paper shows how “the service of thought” (using an expression of John Paul II) has been performed at the Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow during last ten years. This paper presents the main cyclical scientific events, such as conferences and symposia, as well as signs of growth of the unique pontifical university in Central and Eastern Europe. For example the “Krakow methodological conferences” are of particular interest, because the discovery of an appropriate method ensures success in the search for truth. Keywords The Pontifical University of John Paul II in Krakow, ecclesiastical university education, “service of thought”. The Pontifical University of John Paul II is an academic institution located in Kra- kow, derived from the Faculty of Theology established in the 14th century. It hap- pened exactly in 1397 when the Queen of Poland St. Jadwiga (Hedwig) asked the Pope Boniface IX to strengthen the Krakow Studium Generale (founded on 12 May 1364 by King Casimir the Great) by founding the Faculty of Theology. The Pope answered on 11 January 1397 with the Bull Eximiae devotionis affectus The Person and the Challenges 254 Volume 10 (2020) Number 1, p. 253–282 allowing the foundation of that Faculty in Krakow at the same time promoting the Studium to the rank of university (now the Jagiellonian University).1 This very date begins an above six hundred years’ period of history of the Faculty of Theology in Krakow.
