At the Holy Mass on 3 May 1981 I had an idea of building a Monument to the Polish Mother. The Monument Construction Committee was established. It was composed of Rev. H. Nowik (chairman) and members from Independent Self-governing Trade Union “Solidarity”, who invited tenders for the construction of our Monument. The sculptures submitted as tenders were displayed in the BWA Art Gallery. The construction of the monument was interrupted by the introduction of the martial law (13 December 1881). Donations towards the building of the monument were confiscated. The authors of the works, which were submitted as tenders, did not start building the Monument. Hence, I commissioned Adam Graczyk from Poznań to do this project. A model in plaster (1:1) was placed in the church in Czerwieńsk (26 April 1984) and was there until further works were done, which took place in Janusz Jeziołkowski’s studio in Puszczykowo, and then I placed it in bronze in the church in Czerwieńsk (16 October 1987), under the expanded name (due to geopolitical events in the country and the world) „Monument to the Polish Mother on the Way of the Cross of History”. This exhibition was transferred from the Czerwieńsk church to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows, Queen of Poland in Licheń, where it became a monument called „Monument to the Mother of the Motherland in Homage to the Polish Mother”. It was blessed on 16 October 1988, on the Jubilee of Our Pope’s Pontificate.
