Jasna Góra, the “Bright mountain”
The monastery Jasna Góra in Czestochowa (Poland) plays a major role in the life of the Pauline Fathers. It is by far their most important place of pilgrimage and has been taken care of by the Pauline Fathers for over 600 years. The monastery and service here intrinsically shaped the Pauline Fathers.
The monastery of Jasna Góra
Prince Ladislaus of Oppeln (Wlasdyslaw Opolczyk), regent of the King of Hungary in Poland from 1367 to 1372, summoned the Pauline Fathers’ monks from Hungary to Poland.
In 1382 they came to Czestochowa and were given a small church and the “miraculous” picture of the Virgin Mary, that the prince had brought with him from the town of Belz.
