Father Bolesław Kominek, apostolic administrator in Opole

"We are bound by the common Holy Catholic faith, we are united by a common language... We are united by the same tough borderland nature, which knows how to live under the most difficult conditions." These words, from a sermon by Father Bolesław Kominek, apostolic administrator in Opole, pictured the church effort in integrating believers resettled from the eastern borderlands with Poles who'd long lived in western borderlands.
