Abstract

After World War II in the Church of Gorzow were fifty four sisters of the five congregations in the sixteen religious houses. During the twenty seven so-called provisional church came over 650 nuns of 33 congregations and in the beginning of the seventies of the twentieth century amounted to more than 700 sisters. They came from thirty eight congregations, and lived in 100 homes. Joy of the Church and the faithful was the increasing number of sisters, but the fact became painfully forced changes by the State Authorities, the qualifications of their ministry. Their charisma could fulfil the early fifties of the twentieth century, especially to work for ‘Caritas’, after the death of Joseph Stalin and the political changes of the late fifties and sixties increasingly abandoned by their charisma to work in parishes and catechesis. Nevertheless the sisters wrote a great card here. Served in both the secular and the religious social welfare institutions such as hospitals, shelters parish houses, special for children and elderly and kindergartens.
