He was the author of several theological works, and it was also on his initiative that the church of St. Francis of Assisi in Poznań obtained a new fa9ade crowned with two double-clearance cupolas. Moreover, the church was fitted with a new organ, the biggest in Greater Poland which was designed by Michał Engler the Younger, a recognized Silesian organ master. New bells were hung on the tower and the chapel of the Holy House of Loreto was built. In January 1945 during the fight to liberate Poznań, the monastery and the church were destroyed in 75 per cent. Reconstruction lasted until 1989. A faithful reconstruction of the tower cupolas done in 1982 was a major achievement. ER -
