The pilgrimage of the Employees, Readers and Friends of ‘Niedziela’ to the Shrine of Jasna Gora fell on 15 September 2007, the day before the World Communications Day, which was celebrated in Poland on the third Sunday of September (that was the 11th pilgrimage). »

On 16 September 2007 we celebrate the Forty-first World Communications Day in Poland. That day was celebrated on 20 May in the world. Pope Benedict XVI entitled his message for that occasion ‘Children and the Media: A Challenge for Education’ (we print it on page 16). »
The sign of the priestly stole
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
Summer months make me reflect on the sacramental character of marriage. Since many girls and boys who go on holiday live together in one tent or room, like a married couple. They regard it as something proper. »
Reflection concerning pilgriming
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
I am impressed by the meeting with pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Lublin in Czarnca near Wloszczowa. Many priests joined that group. I could also take part in solemn Mass celebrated in the fields. The Mass was presided by Bishop Ryszard Karpinski. »
They dedicated their lives to Mary
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
There is a Latin saying 'De Maria numquam satis' - Concerning Mary, never enough!' This saying is still valid today and one of the proofs of its validity is wonderful pilgriming to Marian places, including Jasna Gora. »
What kind of European culture?
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
Europe did not include the idea of God in its constitution. This is some kind of paradox that Christian Europe does not want to place the name of God and reference to Christian values in the preamble to its fundamental bill. »
A blow to the biggest family of the world
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
The 15th Pilgrimage of the Radio Maryja Family to Jasna Gora, which was held at the beginning of July 2006, got a lot of publicity. This big religious event deserves special attention since impressive crowds of pilgrims from various parts of Poland and abroad gathered there. »

Although Polish economic immigrants have gone to England and Ireland the number of Poles in Italy is growing. They need spiritual support and contact with community. These needs are met by pastoral centres run by Polish priests. »
Against heresies, including the contemporary heresies
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
On 28 June we celebrate the feat of Saint Irenaeus, Bishop and Martyr. This saint helps us understand theology, Christ and man better just as he helped his contemporaries. Saint Irenaeus is the patron saint of the only student center parish and the patron of the church that is being built there. »
Being a shepherd of the Church
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
The Solemnity of the Apostles Peter and Paul is one of the most important celebrations in the Eternal City where both Apostles founded the first Christian community and gave their lives for faith. »
Doctors have gone on strike and what about patients?
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
Doctors decisively demanded considerable pay rises. We all know that wages in Poland are poor. When we compare our wages with the wages of those who have gone to work, for example in Great Britain we must admit that their pay is much higher and people are immediately better off there. »
Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
'Niedziela' is beginning an evangelization action 'The Bible in Family'. Each week we are going to print one book of the Bible as an insert to our weekly. The idea to popularise reading Sacred Scripture in families is to be a form of preparation to the Bishops' Synod concerning the Bible to be held in Rome in 2008. »

Fr. IRENEUSZ SKUBIŚ
Poland and Ukraine are going to host the European Football Championships 2012. Sports competitions, especially football, have extraordinary meaning in the lives of countries and societies. »

We recollected his pontificate on the second anniversary of his death and we thanked God for the gift of John Paul II for the Church, the world, our homeland and each of us. »
