Poland, G\u00f3ra Kalwaria: The Multimedium Museum of Blessed Stanislaus Papczy\u0144ski opened at Marianki<\/h1><\/div>

On Dec.\u00a011,\u00a02015, the museum of Bl.\u00a0Stanislaus Papczy\u0144ski was opened at the place of his eternal rest \u2013 G\u00f3ra Kalwaria near Warsaw.<\/p>\n

The date of opening the museum was not accidental, because 345\u00a0years ago on this day (Dec.\u00a011,\u00a01670) in Krakow Fr.\u00a0Stanislaus expressed in his\u00a0Oblatio<\/i>\u00a0a desire to found the\u00a0Society of Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The museum \u2013 dedicated to the person of Fr.\u00a0Papczy\u0144ski who was, among others, a confessor of King John\u00a0III Sobieski \u2013 holds pictures, objects, and books related to him. It also uses modern multimedia interactive tools.<\/p>\n

The museum is located at Marianki, in the Marian Fathers\u2019 religious house adjacent to the Lord’s Cenacle Church \u2013 the place of eternal rest of Fr.\u00a0Papczy\u0144ski\u2019s, who died in\u00a01701. The exhibition presents one of the most prominent figures of the 17th-century Poland: a writer, a patriot, a promoter of social justice, and a noted theologian \u2013 the founder of the Marian school of spirituality, deeply rooted in Polish culture.<\/p>\n

The life and work of this Religious is shown against the background of his times through his contribution to the formation of spirituality of such personages as John\u00a0III Sobieski and Antonio Pignatelli, then the Apostolic Nuncio and later Pope Innocent\u00a0XII, to name a few.<\/p>\n

Father Jan Rokosz,\u00a0MIC, the museum\u2019s director, emphasizes that Blessed Fr.\u00a0Papczy\u0144ski\u2019s textbooks on rhetoric were used in the Piarist schools for teaching many generations of Poles, among whom was also Fr.\u00a0Stanislaw Konarski \u2013 the originator of the idea of establishing the National Education Commission. King Stanislaus Augustus\u2019 Coronation Parliament petitioned the Pope for Fr.\u00a0Stanislaus\u2019 beatification as early as\u00a01764.<\/p>\n

Father Rokosz acknowledges that Fr.\u00a0Stanislaus has been neglected and even forgotten for centuries, but that today the world rediscovers him anew, especially thanks to the decision of Benedict\u00a0XVI for his beatification, which took place in\u00a02007, and also thanks to resolution of the Senate the Polish Republic of March\u00a031,\u00a02011. This resolution says among other things that Blessed Papczy\u0144ski gave us an example of the Pole dedicated to matters of his Homeland that is worthy of imitation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe timeliness of his moral and civic teaching justifies the need for bringing Fr.\u00a0Stanislaus\u2019 life and work closer to the present generation of Poles, especially the young people. The Senate calls the educational institutions for popularizing the person and achievements of the Blessed,\u201d states the resolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe exhibition, divided into nine thematic zones, holds museum pieces, archives, and book collections associated with the Blessed, in order to fulfill \u2013 with help of the state of the art means \u2013 the task assigned by the Senate of the Polish Republic,\u201d explains Fr.\u00a0Rokosz.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe history of G\u00f3ra Kalwaria is closely intertwined with the history of Fr.\u00a0Papczy\u0144ski. G\u00f3ra Kalwaria means the Marians, and the Marians mean G\u00f3ra Kalwaria,\u201d said Dariusz Zielinski the town mayor during the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n

Father Pawe\u0142 Naumowicz,\u00a0MIC, Polish Provincial Superior, indicated that one of the main motives of Fr.\u00a0Papczy\u0144ski\u2019s ministry and teaching was his desire to alleviate the inequities and to reach out with the Gospel to those who felt abandoned and marginalized. \u201cToday, we see similar themes in the teaching of Pope Francis,” said Fr.\u00a0Naumowicz, who is also the initiator of the museum.<\/p>\n

The exhibits include, among others, 17th-century everyday objects and clothes from the vicinity of Podegrodzie \u2013 the birthplace of Stanislaus Papczy\u0144ski, as well as sabers and other items from the era.<\/p>\n

One of the most valuable exhibits is a letter of King Jan\u00a0III Sobieski, dated\u00a01687 and written in Polish to Benedict Pawe\u0142 Sapieha, Grand Treasurer of Lithuania. The letter bears the imprint of the King\u2019s crown seal.<\/p>\n

The museum also displays a book that belonged to Blessed Fr.\u00a0Papczy\u0144ski with his autograph on the title page, as well as the remains of his habit removed from the coffin during the exhumation of his remains in the 18th\u00a0century.<\/p>\n

The exhibition was prepared by a team, which includes its director, Fr.\u00a0Jan Rokosz and Fr.\u00a0Jan Kosmowski,\u00a0MIC, historian of the Congregation, Fr.\u00a0Wojciech Sk\u00f3ra,\u00a0MIC, Rector of the Lord\u2019s Cenacle Church in G\u00f3ra Kalwaria, and Br.\u00a0Andrew M\u0105czy\u0144ski,\u00a0MIC, Vice-Postulator of the Marian Causes of Saints for North America and Asia.<\/p>\n

Materials for the museum were amassed over several years through research, among others, in the Vatican Archives and discovery of valuable antique books in Lithuanian antique shops in Vilnius and Kaunas and in the Congregation\u2019s archives.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that such a museum dedicated to the Blessed Founder of the Marians is thus far the first and only such site in Poland and around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>
