The Shalom catholic missionaries from Brazil first arrived in the capital of Poland in 2015, just three years later the community has welcomed the first local vocation, Agnieszka Kluz the first Polish postulant of Shalom Life community in the land of Saint John Paul II.
The foundation started with three missionaries of Shalom Life community and one of covenant Community. During the first year they worked as volunteers in the registration committee for the World Youth Day (WYD) 2016 with the French, Italian and Spanish pilgrims.
“We can say that the house of the community was officially inaugurated in December 2016, after the WYD celebrations when we finally managed to live in a community house because before were living in the house of volunteers. During this time another missionary arrived and we began our initiatives of evangelization“, said Ada Nunes, missionary of Shalom Covenant Community.
According to Ada, beyond the strength of the charism, the witness of the Brazilian missionaries in living joyfully the radicality of the Gospel, has attracted the young Agnieszka Kluz to Shalom. The new Polish postulant is going to Brazil in July to continue her vocational path there.
With the entry of Agnieszka into the life of the community, the mission of Krakow Shalom Community currently has four missionaries of the life community and two of the covenant.
