First Saturdays on Mars
The period of three years of prayer meetings in the house on Mars is coming to an end, drawing from the source of God's mysteries pulsating in the Eucharist, as well as from the deep Marian nature of the community of Primate Wyszyński's Institute and the richness of the teachings of blessed Primate of the Millennium.
The agenda of the current meetings was shaped quite strongly at this particular time. Initially, we wanted to invite those interested to visit Mars as a place associated with the Blessed One. However, spiritual souvenirs fade into the background when the real need for a meeting with Mary and First Saturday compensation for the ingratitude of the People of God comes to the fore. This is how we read the presence of those who come to this place to pray together. Although in the initial assumptions the meetings were organized on the 28th day of each month (the day of Blessed Stephen's departure to the Father's House), for some reasons they were moved to the first Saturdays. They were intended to be used to visit the place associated with the Primate of the Millennium, but they brought more - beautiful prayer and focus on the mysteries of Christ and Mary. It is no accident that it also came to Mars at that time and the figure of Our Lady of Fatima associated with the wartime generation of Wanderers remained here. Mary, as she once was, wandering around the world, is now surrounded by honor and prayer, constituting a special sign of her presence among us.
We trust that Blessed Stefan Wyszyński, a great devotee of Mary, pointed out the need to stop and reflect on this day in order to fulfill the wish of Our Lady expressed in Fatima. Therefore, the program is closely connected with the celebration of the first Saturdays of the month. During adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the Rosary is recited, on this day we also reflect on the mystery of the life of Mary and, of course, Holy Mass is celebrated. Participants have the opportunity to use the sacrament of penance and entrust their intention to God, written on a piece of paper and placed on the altar during the Eucharist. They can count on enriching their spirit with a conference on the teachings of Fr. Primate and a longer homily. This is our joy and a small brick in the building of the universal Church. (MW)

Under the famous oak tree, where Fr. sat. Primate, it will now be possible to organize meetings. The fence destroyed during the construction of the viaduct has also been rebuilt. The facility has been partially modernized in the part not protected as monuments, which will make it easier for our guests to use. Designs for further construction and land development were also made. We owe all the work carried out to the Institute of the Heritage of National Thought. Roman Dmowski and Ignacy Jan Paderewski, who financed our project as part of the Patriotic Fund 2023 program.
If financial possibilities allow, further works will be carried out in the vicinity of the building, and we will inform you about it. There is an urgent need to renovate the stairs on the slope in front of the building. Several dozen years after the reconstruction of the surroundings, the stairs were destroyed. We encourage people who would like to support our renovation work to make a donation to the Foundation's account under the title: renovation of Mars.

Welcome to Mars 🙂
MARS is a charming, historic house on a slope in the Rembertów district in Warsaw's Wygoda district. Built in the 1920s, purchased in 1957, it became the first home of the Primate Wyszyński Institute, a secular community of consecrated persons whose co-founder and spiritual father was Bl. card. Stefan Wyszynski. The name comes from the name of the street of Mars and this name appears in the writings of Kard. Wyszyński and the tradition of the community.
The house is a place where in the years 1957-1969 Fr. Primate, here he preached the Word of God for the community of the Institute, here many of his spiritual conferences preached during retreats and days of recollection were created. The place is still marked by the presence of the Blessed - the chapel where he celebrated the Holy Sacrifice, and in it his personal kneeler, relics, interior decoration as in the times of his presence. Next door, in the room of Fr. Primate - as years ago - furniture, mementos of the Father, in an unchanged state. Contact with the place introduces a note of reflection and reverie, fills with peace.
The surroundings of the house are full of greenery, it is a good climate for physical and spiritual rest.
On Mars, the first Saturdays with Mary and the Primate of the Millennium are celebrated every month, it is an open day for visitors, as well as an opportunity for personal and common prayer.

July 28, 2022 at the house of the Primate Wyszyński Institute at ul. Marsa in Warsaw, another meeting in the series Day with the Blessed Primate of the Millennium took place. The co-organizer of cyclical meetings, which take place on the 28th of the month, is Foundation Heritage of Stefan Cardinal Wyszyński . The meeting was attended by friends of the Institute, but also those who visited this place for the first time, incl. members of the prayer community of one of the Warsaw parishes, Children of Mary.
The purpose of the meetings is not only to get to know the place and spiritual heritage of the Primate - it is also an opportunity for in-depth prayer and spiritual reflection. During the Holy Mass, we recommended the intentions brought in the hearts of the participants, written and placed on the altar. During the homily, the celebrant mentioned the apostolic mission of every Christian, who, regardless of age and ability, has an enormous role to play in the Church. Even if in the face of war, misfortunes and evil it seems that we can do nothing, with Jesus we can do anything. In this, Cardinal Wyszyński is our guide and role model.
During the conference, Anna Rastawicka emphasized the role of entrusting to Mary, whom Primate Wyszyński trusted without borders, to whom he entrusted the fate of himself and the whole nation. It is, given to us by the Creator, a sure and safe Way and - to quote the Blessed One's words - "if any program, it is She". Every sinner has access to Mary, the Mother, like a child to his mother, who will not reject even the one who is most lost in life. And from her there is a straight path to fall into the embrace of Jesus and enjoy His love.
The participants had the opportunity to visit the house, a special place where the Primate of the Millennium used to visit, celebrate the Eucharist, preach retreats and rest. Traditionally, there was time to watch a movie about the Blessed, time for a joint meeting, reflection and conversation.
Everyone who would like to participate in the Day with the Blessed is invited to the next meetings on the 28th of each month.

The activities of the Foundation "Heritage of Stefan Cardinal Wyszyński" focus on promoting the person and teaching of the soon blessed Primate of the Millennium. Due to the fact that the seat of the Foundation is located in the house of the Primate Wyszyński Institute, which was visited by the Primate, this is where we want to commemorate his person and spiritual wealth. Meetings in the spirit of teaching our Guide to Life require appropriate background, conditions and organization. Therefore, in the Primate Wyszyński Heritage House, a specially prepared room will be created, in which it will be possible to conduct meetings, workshops, etc. effectively. The organization of the room will be possible thanks to the financial support of the Institute of National Thoughts Heritage. Roman Dmowski and Ignacy Jan Paderewski as part of the Patriotic Fund - Edition 2021 Freedom in Polish. We will keep you informed about the possibilities and current offers after the necessary repairs have been carried out.
