Her attempts usually failed because of a lack of relevant documents for that task. A reliable witness was needed to establish the institution and its erection. That witness occurs Father doctor Paweł Dziubiński towards the Diocesan Bishop in 1926 in Lublin. That Benedictine institution functioned after the erection for about two weeks.
