Through our magazine “Królowa Różańca Świętego“(Queen of the Holy Rosary) our Foundation is spreading the Pompeian Novena in Poland and throughout the world, especially in some European countries. Crops from these seeds are plenteous: every day we receive an abundant number of testimonies connected to the Rosary prayer – on every possible topic!
That’s how we came out with the idea of starting a new initiative. Combined involvement of our dear Readers and Foundation’s Members soon fructified with a new publication of “The Great Book of Graces”. consisting of the first 1.500 testimonies and miracle experiences of the graces granted through the Pompeian Novena that came to our redaction in the years 2012-2014.
The financial means for the Great Book’s publication process were raised through our website www.pompejanska.rosemaria.pl, with an individual fund for this goal. Thanks to the gathered offerings we were able to print and traditionally bind not one, but two exemplars of the Book. One of them was presented to the Pompeian Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary of Pompeii, where the Pompeian Novena comes from, and the second exemplar is currently kept in the Foundation’s central office in order to peregrinate through Polish dioceses together with the Holy Relics of the Blessed Bartolo Longo.
During the process, it came out that the printing house printed not two, but six copies of the Book. After a heated discussion we decided to bind the four supplementary copies in order to hand them over to the most important personas and Rosary santuaries in Poland. An additional fund-raiser made the realisation of this project possible, for which we are heartfully grateful to our most honorable Donors. A second thank-you should be addressed to the Inowroclaw-based Totem printing house, which granted us the additional exemplars for free!
Introligatornia Tylkowski is a local bookbinding workshop with strong tradition, responsible for the hand-crafted cover designs.
