the leading activity of the Church.
It is only into 1958 that was published a semi-monthly "In the name of God" renamed in January 1959 "Polish Mariawita" and who since 1964 appears in the shape of a monthly magazine having a character of periodical socio-monk, while being the official body of press of the Church. The publication directs also a heading for children, "Small Mariavite". |
