On the feast of Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary our novices made their first profession of vows. After a year of formation, communal prayer and work in the novitiate under the direction of the Novice Master, Fr. Sławomir Homoncik, the novices Mariusz Rodak (of Konopnica near Lublin) and Kazimierz Wilkowski (of Lubin, in the Lower Silesia), completed this stage and made their first profession of vows before the Provincial Superior, Fr. Paweł Naumowicz.

Families of our newly professed members, Marians from Warsaw and Góra Kawlaria, parishioners from Skórzec, and guests attended the solemnity. After a brief period of rest, Brothers Mariusz and Kazimierz will go to the Marian Seminary in Lublin, to take on new duties.

Also, on Sept. 8, 2009, several Marians renewed their temporary vows at the different communities of the Divine Providence Province.
