From 27th to 30th September 2024, the XI Meeting of the families of our SSCC Fathers took place at the Monastery of Christ the King in Polanica-Zdrój. This time there were 22 representatives of the families of our brothers. The meeting started on Friday 27th with dinner together, followed by a common Rosary.
On Saturday 28th September we visited the parish of St Margaret Martyr where Fr Joseph, the parish priest, spoke about the devotion to St Damian and blessed us with his relics. Later we went to the cemetery in Stary Wielislaw where our brothers are buried. In the evening we celebrated Mass and the day ended with a shared feast and a presentation on the 40th General Chapter, prepared by Fr Kamil Wawro sscc.
On Sunday 29th September, after a quiet morning that began with Mass at the Shrine of Our Lady of Fatima followed by a walk, we had lunch together. In the afternoon there was an opportunity to visit Wambierzyce, where we were shown around by Fr. Leszek Gólczynski, the Provincial. On Monday 30 September, after breakfast, people made their way back to their homes.
We are very pleased that so many members of our families were able to come. It was a wonderful opportunity to strengthen relationships with them and in this way to give thanks for the vocations they have given us. We look forward to the next meeting.
