The Congregation of the Sisters Adorers of the Blood of Christ founded its first house in the Polish lands in Bolesławiec on 2 August 1945. The Adorers lived in the parish house dedicated to St Stephen, thanks in no small measure to the efforts of the then parish priest, Father Andrzej Gromadzki. Eight sisters arrived from Yugoslavia at that time with a transport of repatriates. This event was connected with the return to the country of Polish citizens, who were awaiting homes and fields in the Recovered Territories.
In the spring of 1947, the sisters moved to a building at 23 Zgorzelecka Street, which had once housed the male monastery of St Quirinus, later a hospital, then an old people's home, and finally, during the Second World War, a military hospital for Soviet soldiers. The Congregation was also assigned some land in the village of Łaziska, about 4 km from the convent. The first superior of the house was Sister Annuncjata (who died on 22 May 1947). Three postulants then also joined, and on 23 September 1947 another four Polish Adorers arrived from Yugoslavia. After Sister Annuncjata's death, the entire community was led by Sister Lidwina Sikora.
The nuns led a very poor life; there was little rationed food, and in winter the stoves were fired only once a week. Working in the fields in Łaziska was very hard. The sisters sometimes had to get up at 3 a.m., and after a day full of exhausting work, they returned on foot from Łaziska to Bolesławiec.
At the end of 1947, two sisters began working in a kindergarten. A second house was also established in Łaziska (it existed from 1947 to 1966), and in 1948 the sisters began teaching religious education at a primary school in Bolesławiec.
Unfortunately, the years 1949–56 were an especially difficult period for the homeland, the Church and the Sisters Adorers in Bolesławiec. The Congregation faced the threat of dissolution and confiscation of its property. The situation was further complicated by the lack of approval from the Congregation for Religious in Rome, which did not allow the Polish Adorers to open a novitiate. Fortunately, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, using special powers, authorized the opening of a novitiate on 21 January 1951.
It was only from 1957 that the Bolesławiec Adorers were able to expand their activities. Their houses were established in Lwówek (1957–79) and in Wrocław, on Staszica Street and Próchnika Street (1957–59), and a year later in Zawidów, on the border with the Czech Republic. In these places, the sisters taught children catechism, cared for churches, ran choirs and scholas, and gave music lessons.
In 1960, the convent in Bolesławiec and the houses subordinate to it in Lower Silesia became more independent, receiving the designation “Delegation” within the Congregation's hierarchy. Further religious houses were also established. On 13 December 1965, the “Bolesławiec Delegation” was given the status of the Polish Province of the Congregation of the Sisters Adorers of the Blood of Christ. Sister Miriam Jaskot was appointed provincial superior.
Another important event in the history of the Bolesławiec convent was the first visit by the superior general of the Adorers in Rome, Mother Marciana Heimerman, which took place in 1968. After more than twenty years of isolation, this made it possible for the Polish group of sisters to establish contact with the rest of the Congregation.
In the later period, the Bolesławiec convent lost some of its importance when the provincial headquarters were transferred from Bolesławiec to Wrocław on 31 August 1974. The Congregation itself, however, continued to develop, extending beyond the area of Lower Silesia.
Today, there are two religious houses of the Adorers in Bolesławiec: on Zgorzelecka Street and at the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In view of the 50th anniversary of the Congregation of the Sisters Adorers in Poland, which fell in 1996, and above all their continuous presence in Bolesławiec, it must be said that the Congregation has taken root and is bearing fruit, contributing to the growth of spiritual culture.
