She was chosen for this function on 4 August 1703, and remained in office for 38 years.Zofia Grothówna contributed- along with the Bishop of Cracow, Kazimierz Łubieński and the Commissioner of the convent, canon Dominik Lochman- to rebuilding the convent after the great fire, which took place in 1710.Thanks to her efforts, the convent and the church were equipped with the necessary movables, including liturgical equipment.
