The History of the Shrine



The history of the Shrine goes back to the time of apparitions, which took place between 1943-1949. There had been no church in the Siekierki region before or during the second world war. The people wanted to found a church, but soon the second world war broke out and made it impossible. Children prayed beneath the Cross. One of those young people was a 12 years old girl - Władysława Papis (maiden name: Fronczek-Frauczuk). One day, when she returned home from the Cross and continued to pray, suddenly she saw the Holy Mother appear over the cherry tree. She prayed further. The Holy Mother looked at her and waited. Władysława felt that she had forgotten about somebody in her prayers. She remembered her uncle who was very sick, and asked for his health to be restored. However, the Holy Mother still waited. Władysława understood that her prayer was not finished. And she said: "I ask for the recovery of my uncle, but if it does not happen, please take him to Heaven, beside You, dear Mother". At that moment the Holy Mother turned around 3 times towards the right and disappeared. This happened on 3rd May 1943 - a day, which is in Poland the Feast of Our Holy Mother, the Queen of Poland. Our Lord Jesus Christ appeared for the first time on 28th June 1943 at this place. The last apparition took place on 15th September 1949 during the Feast of Our Lady of Sorrows. Our Lord Jesus said: "I have come to you to tell you that I am with you. I am leaving now, but you pray to My Mother, as She listens to your prayers". During the apparitions the Holy Mother dictated a Litany, a Chaplet and a song. Both Our Lady and Our Lord Jesus left many messages for believers. One of them is that the Holy Mother appeared as a Teacher of Young People. The first Chapel at the place of apparitions was built in 1945-1946. The Chapel was opened on 3rd May 1946 during the Feast of Our Holy Mother, the Queen of Poland. The Chapel was extended 3 times: in 1979, 1980 and 1981. After that a new chapel was built – as a votive offering for healing from alcoholism. The current Chapel was blessed by Primate Józef Glemp on 29th August 1999. The first Holy Mass was said on 3rd May 1977 and after that the Holy Masses were said regularly, particularly on Feast Days. Primate Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński entrusted the place of apparitions to the Piarist Order on 16th November 1980. After His death, Cardinal Józef Glemp consecrated the square on which the church would be built. Bishop Zbigniew Kraszewski embedded the corner stone of the church and consecrated the lower church on 22nd October 1988. The Parish Church under the invocation of the Holy Virgin Mary – the Queen of Believers was established on 15th March 1988. The church was blessed by Cardinal Primate Józef Glemp on 17th September 1994. The Diocesan Shrine under the invocation of the Holy Mother – the Teacher of Young Persons was established by Primate Józef Glemp on 31st August 1997. 

The Divine Services History


1. Day vigil on 3rd day of every month. The vigil has taken place regularly since 1995, but it has its origin during the time of apparitions. Since 3rd May 1943 the school children have arrived at 12.00 to pray the Angelus prayer. The Holy Mother asked them to pray for the reformation of sinners. On 31st August 1943, one year before the Warsaw Insurrection, the Holy Mother said: "Pray, as a severe punishment will come, a heavy cross. I cannot hold back My Son’s anger if the nation does not reform. Kneel every day from 12.00 to 15.00, from 6th August on, and ask forgiveness for the sins of the whole world (ask for mercy for the whole world)". 

2. Day vigil on 28th day of every month. The vigil has taken place regularly since 1997. It has its origin during the time of apparitions. The Lord Jesus spoke about His great love for people. “Do not walk indifferently near churches. I am waiting for you in the Holy Sacrament. I can ease every suffering, I can console every dejected heart, if the heart turns to me with the trust and confidence”. (on 26th September 1943). “I am waiting for you, hidden in the tabernacle. Kneel in front of the altar and pray”. (on 19th January 1944). “I am wounded by those who insult Me. Make amends for them”. (on 8th September 1949). “Pray to My Holy Mother, She listens you”. (on 15th September 1949) 

3. Night vigil, on the Saturday before 3rd Sunday of every month. It has taken place regularly since July 1982. It has its origin during the time of apparitions. The first night vigils were in October 1943 and in April 1944. Such vigil lasted 3 nights, night by night. Then the Holy Mother asked to pray during the entire first Fridays. 24 persons chose the hours and prayed at home in reparations for sins of the whole world. Father Edward Szajor, Piarist decided that night vigils would be held on Saturdays before 3rd Sunday – by analogy to 3rd May, as the Holy Mother appeared on 3rd May 1943.
