The opening of the Vatican radio station on 12 February 1931 by Pious XII marked the moment from which the Catholic Church, initially reluctant towards radio broadcasting, began to see it as a tool of evangelization.In many countries, Poland included, ways of cooperation of the Church with the radio were subsequently developed along with guidelines for preparing Catholic radio programs.The Poznań radio, which opened on 24 April 1927, already ten days later, by permission of Cardinal August Hlond, conducted the first broadcast of the Holy Mass in Poland. From then on, until the outbreak of the Second World War, the schedule of the Poznań radio station included broadcasts of the weekly Holy Mass, services, Church events as well as concerts of sacral music and programs on religious themes.The article is appended with their complete list.

“Szkółka Niedzielna” (“The Sunday School”), a weekly published in Leszno from 1837 to 1853, was the first Polish journal for the peasantry. It was established on Dezydery Chłapowski’s initiative by Fr. Tomasz Borowicz, who was its first editor until mid-1849 (until the end of 1853 this function was performed by Ignacy Kotecki). Articles which appeared in the weekly not only urged readers to pursue school education but in themselves were a source of knowledge on religion, farming, horticulture, animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, also offering guidance on broadly understood country life (including among others such issues as household management, childcare, personal hygiene). Considerable space was allotted to anti-alcoholic texts. Financial difficulties caused the decline of “Szkółka Niedzielna”.

Both Kazimiera Iłlakowiczówna (1888-1983) and Eugeniusz Paukszta (1916-1979) were born in Vilnius and both settled in Poznań shortly after the Second World War, soon becoming important personages of the city's literary milieu. The presented block of Iłłakowiczówna's correspondence includes 23 letters that pertain mostly to daily matters, e.g. connected with membership in the Union of Polish Writers, but there are also congratulatory letters on the occasion of an award or medal received by Paukszta, there are letters thanking for congratulations sent by Paukszta on occasions when Iłłakowiczówna was the recipient of an award, there are greetings from vacations, holiday wishes and wishes on the birth of his child, there are condolences on the death of his mother. In one of her letters Iłłakowiczówna presents her stance toward the so called „case of Wojciech Bąk" which at that time shocked the artistic circles of Poznań. Iłłakowiczówna wrote a majority of the letters by hand, so they not only express her thoughts but are also evidence of her progressing eye disease.

After ordination to the priesthood in Rome he was chaplain in the Polish and Lithuanian missions in England and Scotland, and also worked among Poles who sought employment in Cape Town in South Africa. From around 1906 to 1923 he ministered to the Polish migrants in the United States. Here, thanks to his diligence and enterprise he made a fortune, purchasing large areas of land in Bridgeport, Connecticut. Upon returning to Poland, he contributed largely to the building of a Catholic secondary school in Kielce. For a short time he served as a pastor of the parishes in Suków and Chmielnik in the Kielce diocese. However, he felt he was treated unfairly in his native diocese, so in 1926 he left for Poznań where he settled and died three years later. There he started a foundation for indigent Polish writers but it actually never came into existence due to Polish bureaucracy and American  law.

This group included among other such priests as Bronisław Gładysz, Kazimierz Kowalski, Władysław Hozakowski, Edward Warmiński. The Church culture forming center was the St. Adalbert Booksellers, an important publisher of Polish and world literature, which also published a cultural journal for the intelligentsia called “Tęcza”.
