Caring and Educational Dimension of the Ministry of the Congregation of the Dominican Sisters in the United States on the Basis of the Post-Visit Report by Sr. Rozariana Mikiewicz

Summary/Abstract: The life of an emigrant was not easy and pleasant. This is confirmed by the situation of many Poles who emigrate to the United States of America. Changing the place of residence to more distant, linguistic and cultural barriers and the need to find oneself in a foreign, unfamiliar country are difficult challenges. The activity of the Polish clergy, going far beyond the strictly pastoral aspects, proves the importance of helping in a foreign land, expressed in various forms. The fate of Polish emigrants very often revolved around the Catholic Church, which integrated the Polish community around itself. The situation of the sisters belonging to the American province of Dominican Sisters presented in the post-visit report prepared by Mother General, Sr. Rozariana Mikiewicz, shows not only the wide spectrum of their ministry, but also the problems and difficulties of the Congregation. The care and educational themes contained in the document reveal to us a multidimensional service that fits not only in the implementation of the religious charism, but also in the history of care and educational activities among Poles living abroad, as well as among the local population.
