The number of Knights of the Immaculate is increasing in Poland. In October and November last year, Fr. Karol Stehlin received 43 new Knights: 16 in Suwałki and 27 in Zamość.

From the 1st to the 8th of November, the Knights distributed two folders to the people in the cemeteries: on the last things and on the souls in purgatory. Many accepted the folders with gratitude and interest.

In addition, the Knights distribute Miraculous Medals and folders in parishes where priests agree to this apostolate. One of the Knights asked priests in six parishes to speak about the Miraculous Medal during the sermon on Sunday (the 28th of November). They all agreed.
Each of them spoke at the sermon about the apparitions of Our Lady at the Rue du Bac and about the Miraculous Medal itself. After each Mass, Miraculous Medals and our brochures were available for those interested.
The same Knights gave the medals and folders to catechists to teach a lesson on the Miraculous Medal in all the classes of two elementary schools. The catechists readily agreed and conducted the lessons in connection with the Feast of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal (the 27th of November).

Initiative of the faithful from Jastrzębie Zdrój (Poland) pologne news2 

A group of Catholic Tradition lead a public prayer of the Rosary every first Friday of the month in Jastrzębie Zdrój. They are spiritually united with the faithful and Father Łukasz Szydłowski who gathered at the same time in front of the Arch cathedral of Christ the King in Katowice.

They also organised a kind of counter-demonstration to the march of LGBT in Wodzisław Śląski, reciting the rosary in Latin. This initiative was complemented by Gregorian chants broadcast through a megaphone. Many in habitants of Wodzisław joined the group of our faithful.

Furthermore, on the feast of Our Lady of the Gate of Dawn (the 16th of November 2021), under the leadership of Father Szydłowski, the above mentioned group of faithful prayed the Rosary for peace on the borders of the Republic of Poland and for the moral renewal of the Polish nation. The prayer also had a propitiatory character for all profanations and blasphemies.
