Text is devoted to Sister Katarzyna (Zofia) Steinberg (1898-1977), a nun of the Congregation of Franciscan Sisters of the Servants of the Cross in Laski, a doctor and eminent social activist of Jewish origin. Before her conversion she was known in Warsaw as a member of the Polish Socialist Party, and then as one of the participants in the most creative Catholic circle of the inter-war period - a group of intellectual concentrated around the eminent theologist and priest, Father Wladyslaw Kornilowicz, and Mother Elzbieta (Róza) Czacka - the founder of the Society for Care of the Blind as well as the Congregation of Franciscan Sisters of the Servants of the Cross. Although Sister Katarzyna did not leave any theological texts behind, the scope of her social activity is the best mark left by the environment from which she came, as well as evidence of the complicated relations between the Catholic Church and the Communist authorities in the People's Republic of Poland.
