The Author of the article describes the three years of his ministry in the years 1957–1960 as a parochial vicar in the parish of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in Wadowice. He does this after almost 60 years, to leave testimony about the place of the birth and school years of St. John Paul II, the pope.The Author notes, first, that during his ministry the Wadowice parish has been enlarged beyond the city limits, including such villages as: Jaroszowice, Hobot, Zawadka and Tomice. Today, there are three new parishes, from which one is worthy of mention: it is the parish of St. Peter, the Apostle.
A big part of the article Author devotes to the religious life of the parish, stressing that it was shaped by the Tridentine liturgy, before the Second Vatican Council. He lists the names of the priests, which in the period of Karol Wojtyla shaped his religious life. In 1958, Rev. Karol Wojtyla became auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Krakow. The text describes the celebration of his first episcopal Mass and then his pastoral visit, which took place in Sept. 1959.
