we were almost like brothers for six years until the end of his life.What sort of impression did he make on you ?He was of small stature having been in the priesthood for six years His first parish had been Zabki near Warsaw the second our Lady Queen of Poland in Anin From there he came to Zoliborz where we worked together for a year We ate at one table and said Mass at one altar I was amazed and surprised by his attitude I think the statement that he put on his First Mass picture: "God is sending me to spread the Gospel and heal the wounds of hearts in pain," this was his life's mission which he fulfilled from the beginning of his priesthood He lived with the consciousness that he had been sent by God to spread the Gospel His presence at Zoliborz during the first four years was solely to spread the Gospel and heal the wounds of hearts in pain.At the end of 1980 Father Popieluszko moved to the parish of St Stanislaw Kostka where the parish priest was Father Teofil Bogucki.When Father Jerzy left the parish of the Infant Jesus the Archdiocese named him the priest for the Health Service He moved into an attic next to St Ann's Church There was a tiny window in the roof through which you could look onto the roofs of the Marienstadt Father Jerzy's room was accessed by a little metal ladder I had been the vicar at the parishes of St Stanislaw Kostka and of the Baby Jesus during the time that Father Bogucki had been dean for Zoliborz I proposed to the prelate that he invite Father Jerzy to the presbytery Father Bogucki spread out his hands as a gesture of greeting and said: "Father here are your living quarters and the lower Church is where Father can welcome the Health Service and students." Father Bogucki gave Father Jerzy a warm welcome It was surely God's grace that allowed him to become Father Jerzy's spiritual father.On 31st of August Father Jerzy prepared Mass for the workers of the Warsaw "Huta" How was he welcomed there ?It was extraordinary in August 1980 there were strikes on the coast in the Warsaw 'Huta' which had a workforce of ten thousand there was a sit-down strike The workers were gathered together locked inside their place of work They sent a delegation to the Primate that they were looking for a priest to say Sunday Mass for them came to us to request that one of our priest could go to them and say Mass None of the priests could go and then Father Jerzy said that maybe he would be able to He took with him a suitcase containing the liturgical receptacles and went He was allowed entry to the 'Huta' and was greeted by applause He turned around to see if there was someone important behind him Later he commented that the applause was for the Church which after 40 years had come to say Mass amongst the factory workers and then he distributed Communion.In February 1982 Fr Popieluszko begun celebrating monthly Masses at St Stanislaw Kostka Church for the intention of the Motherland Who came to these Masses and what did Father Jerzy say during them?The initiator of these Masses was Fr Bogucki The late Fr Syryjczyk used to celebrate them He used to prepare for them very carefully throughout the whole month Each Mass for the Motherland had its own particular intention ( for the youth Fr Jerzy chose appropriate liturgical readings Everything was according to the Church's social teaching The Church was so full that some had to stand outside or even in the park nearby Father Jerzy used to print out the homily before the Mass and hand it to his congregation so that they could take copies back to their communities the teachings of the Primate of the Millenium my sermons were not directed against anybody lies and injustice and in defence of human dignity He simply stated the truth that people were thirsting for."In spite of all the difficulties that the authorities created the Masses for the Motherland were always full for they wanted to be authentic children of God.How did Father Jerzy gain authority amongst the workers ?Firstly These were the foundations of his personality He was a priest who authentically firmly believed who wanted to share his heart and everything with every person without exception - believer or nonbeliever he was a brother to every person.In this midst of this accumulation of responsibilities and serving others did Fr Popieluszko have time for prayer ?I was Fr Jerzy's confessor When he asked me to be I was surprised as I was his friend and neighbour We would walk around the Church and he make his confession That is why he would not part from his rosary or breviary everywhere where possible he organised places to celebrate Holy Mass During his last reflection on the 19th October 1984 in Bydgoszcz he said: "Mary we people of work and the oasis of the home Church We want to be with your Son during the hours of His agony our problems and to go the way of Christ on Calvary" This confirms his devotion to the Mother of God On the 12th anniversary of his ordination he went to Jasna Gora with a petition for the gifts of the Holy Spirit".Did Father Jerzy expect that he might be murdered?From the time that he started celebrating the Masses for the Motherland A month before his death when there was a massive surveillance of Fr Jerzy the factory workers wanted to protect him but he said: "Through death and a funeral one can achieve more than when while living." He also said: "Resurrection is through the Cross there is no other way."From where did Father Popieluszko draw the strength to defend human dignity?Faith his inner life and his calling were the components which gave him the strength to serve others from these came his power and strength.On the 14th June 1987 the grave of Fr Jerzy and the church of St Stanislaw Kostka were visited by Pope John Paul II.Fr Jerzy never met John Paul II personally The Pope supported him with his heart and prayer On the 14th June 1987 the Pope after a long prayer came out of the church without any speeches he went through the stone rosary which surrounds the tomb He knelt a long time keeping the palms of his hands resting on Fr Jerzy's grave I think that this was a great meeting of two saints do you feel the presence and protection of Fr Jerzy?Yes God is giving me health and strength to bear witness to Fr Jerzy.Father which sentence from his homilies is the most important to you?Especially important I think is the last sentence from his reflections in Bydgoszcz: Let us pray that we may be free from fear intimidation but most of all from the lust for revenge and violence.What would Blessed Father Popieluszko be talking about today at the Masses for Poland?Today Poland and the World need Father Popieluszko He would be saying the same as what he was saying 30 years ago If people took his homilies into their hands and thought about them they would see that everything has a relevance to the present day Today the social and political situation is more complicated and difficult than then but his teaching still remains relevant.In how many places and where are the relics of the blessed priest of Solidarity?In the whole world there are about one and a half thousand of his relics More and more pilgrims are coming to the grave of Blessed Fr Jerzy People are receiving many graces and physical and spiritual miracles with his intercession It is difficult to foresee when we can expect a canonization but our prayer is definitely required for this intention See also: ICN - Poland: Fr Jerzy Popieluszko is beatified www.indcatholicnews.com/news/16268 Tags: Poland, Bl Jerzy Popieluszko, Canon Czeslaw Banaszkiewicz Polish EU Presidency: European Churches meet Minister for EU Affairs Poland honours those who died protecting Jews in WWII The Popemobile of Peace: Pope Francis' final gift to Gaza Jesuit parishes to host open conversations this spring We offer publicity space for Catholic groups/organisations.

My experience throwing local parties Brutaż and Światło in comfortable and gloomy spaces has taught me that the most interesting parts of Warsaw’s art scene are silent like the weird guy looking at you while you’re not watching or that bored girl standing in the corner I broke the ice and started to approach strangers I became friends with people whose art doesn’t really fit the Western-optimized view of what “nightlife” and “underground” should stand for The following is a list of those who pushed me to get involved in what I’m doing now and whose art doesn’t translate to the realm of art business nor the idea of the “underground,” but nevertheless holds great potential to affect moods and minds These people created without hope for wide acceptance in the first place His spiritual attitude led him to explore the concept of timbre and to develop a deeper understanding of techno’s environment and he started making and listening to music as an inner dialogue because he didn’t really have anyone to talk to about it Although he enjoys quite a following outside of Poland Warsaw’s scene hasn’t really treated him well he’s gotten back on a DJ track—not that anybody was asking—and performs under a darker alias called K Magic By loading the video, you agree to YouTube's privacy policy.Learn more Load video By loading the content from Bandcamp, you agree to Bandcamp's privacy policy.Learn more Load content Keep an eye out for the group’s upcoming European tour He also reads books to Aleksandra Waliszewska https://soundcloud.com/facial-index/avdx00 It also contributed to the creation of The Lure one of Poland’s most successful recent indie films By loading the video, you agree to Vimeos's privacy policy.Learn more He compares his sonic output to Sun City Girls so he’s technically a founder of the series It’s a rollercoaster ride through and a reflection of her process of getting rid of the shame of one’s own cultural roots—a Polish specialty her work is probably the easiest starting point for reading on Warsavian and Polish identity Her forthcoming projects include a book on David Sylvian’s and the band Japan’s fixation with the Far East and Maoism She’s also working on an essay on the Eastern Bloc concept of freedom which covers the Pierestroika movement and the war in Yugoslavia This space doesn’t really have a proper sound system, parts of it smell pretty bad and you have to hold the toilet door while you pee (or whatever)—but it’s still the best venue in Warsaw Located in the basement of Warsaw’s Academy Of Fine Arts It’s a meeting point for disillusioned students and it’s where the first Brutaż parties were held The result is a small cheerful/depressed community Their most recent projects include telling the story of Google founder Sergey Brin and his obsession with human genome hosting a TED-inspired session of 15-minute long stage pieces compiled from works by total debutants and renowned directors like Grzegorz Jarzyna and Paweł Łysak This concert venue was created as a safe harbor for Warsaw’s avant-jazz and free improvisation crowd right after the LadoABC label went on temporary hiatus and the avant-garde club Powiększenie closed it became a really popular concert venue and attracted a totally new audience and many great musicians;

that includes  aspects such as,  scale while at the same time it fits in with the landscape of both the preserved and new buildings being erected in the area while giving the possibility of free arrangement The architectural form of a residential building is created at the junction point of pragmatism and a subjective idea of aesthetics The visual concept of embedding the block in the landscape combines and struggles with pragmatic technical-legal The selection criteria differ fundamentally between the developer the most important factor is the economic effect measured by the profit achieved and commercialization The user evaluates the character of the building through convenience and cost of usage leaving aesthetic impressions in the background The residents of the area are generally the ones that evaluate the appearance Facades create the aesthetic environment in which people reside Quality of space is a part of quality of life The use of better quality materials in construction that retain their level of quality for many years have redefined the rules of large-format stores and consequently the assumptions made in their planning and design The covidial restrictions have forced investors and architects to deviate from previously functioning patterns.  The first basic modification is  moving away from typical shopping malls to retail parks The blockage of malls that have shared interior passageways has at one time raised the attractiveness of centers with units accessible directly from parking lots is an example of an evolutionary step back from solutions to ones that are less convenient for the customer Buyers forced to use retail-parks saw another aspect of the change – lower prices resulting from lower construction costs and lower rental prices This stopped  investments while transforming typical malls into facilities that are even more multifunctional and much more user-friendly The second noticeable trend is the adaptation of hypermarkets built almost three decades ago We are currently working on adapting such facilities in Lubin and Grudziądz to meet current standards and needs We can say that we are resurrecting them to function again joining the trend of recycling on a large scale Our studio performs quite a large number of projects in the transformation of buildings or complexes of historic or post-industrial buildings to standards that meet modern needs Examples include realizations of Tobaco Park and Żnin Sugar Factory One of them is the high variability of investment assumptions encountering unknown elements in outdated materials used on the site that were previously impossible to reveal provoke verification of design and technical assumptions they are a canvass for more interesting interior design showing details of the object’s hitherto unknown history at times needing re-evaluation of solutions such as structural or installation This lengthens the execution and design time experienced investors take into account these peculiarities the element of scale is added to the described considerations Penetrating the materials of successive buildings in historic complexes results in the emergence of new adaptation possibilities Then we change not only technical and aesthetic solutions we can build a restaurant on the site of  a playground The timing of implementation and the peculiarities of our time with its dynamics and the need to respond to constantly arising challenges and constraints also play a big role here All of this makes each adaptation project an unforgettable creative experience the satisfaction of saving someone else’s story and recording your own Last Updated on April 25, 2023 by Valeriia Honcharuk As one of the world’s foremost thinkers on sustainable business, Marga Hoek will headline this year’s Sustainable Economy Summit in Poland with her inaugural keynote, ...
