Poland. On May 30, 2009 the Claretian Province of Poland celebrated the ordination of two priests. In the Cathedral of Wroclaw the Claretians Marek Matyszek and Tomasz Pawlik received the priestly order from the hands of the metropolitan of Wroclaw, the Archbishop Marian Golebiewski. The joy of the Province is greater because they know that one of them has been sent to the Claretian mission of Ivory Coast, and the other to the pastoral service in the parish of Lodz.
