Polish Catholic leaders have conducted various religious services and commemorations focused on themes of community, faith, and human dignity.

In early September, Cardinal Konrad Krajewski led a Mass in Łódź honoring Mother Teresa, describing her as “the Gospel in action.” Simultaneously, Cardinal Grzegorz Ryś marked the 800th anniversary of the St. Vincent parish in Pleszowie and addressed a youth pilgrimage in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska, which included children from Ukraine.

Following these events, Cardinal Ryś presided over feast day celebrations for Our Lady of Piasek in Kraków. During the ceremony at the Basilica of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, he emphasized that faith is rooted in encounters with others and highlighted the historical significance of the site’s Marian image.
