They promoted new forms of devotion to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and the Archconfraternity of St. Alphonsus. In their ministry of preaching the God’s Word they were very successful in reaching out to the marginalized and oppressed working class, especially in the 80s to the people involved with Solidarity movement. The very important part of their ministry were well frequented Eucharistic celebrations and hearing confessions. Till now they still preach numerous parish missions and retreats not only in the Zamość area but also in many other dioceses.
