To celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Discalced Carmelites community on \u0141obzowska Street in Krak\u00f3w, the friars of the Province of Krak\u00f3w gathered on 20 November 2025. This jubilee celebration held particular significance, as the sisters played a key role to the rebirth of Carmel in Poland at the end of the nineteenth century.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mothers Jagellonne Wielhorska, Maria Ksawera Czartoryska, and Teresa Steimetz, together with the nuns of Li\u00e8ge-Cornillon (Belgium), were at the origin of this renewal of the charism. Thanks to them, the reform of the friars\u2019 monastery at Czerna founded by St Rafa\u0142 Kalinowski became a reality. He himself stated that he \u201cowed everything to the sisters\u201d. Their collaboration lasted thirty years. Other monasteries were founded, and the deep bond between the friars and the sisters bore abundant spiritual fruit.<\/span><\/p>\n
