The Virgin of Jasna Gora At a time when Czestohowa was still a small medieval town, there stood on a nearby hill a wooden church dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Here in 1384 the Prince Wladyslaw Opolski brought the image of the Mother of God which had been already recognised as miraculous and presented it to the Pauline Fathers.
The Carthusian Order, a monastic contemplative order of monks and nuns, was founded by St Bruno in 1084. This independent website stirves to promote awareness of the Carthusian Order, its rich history, traditions and role in the Catholic Church.
Since the 14th century, pilgrims have been making their way to the hilltop shrine dedicated to the Virgin of Czestochowa, the Black Madonna of Poland. Here countless prayers are offered to the Mother of God and her Divine Son.
You are invited to join your prayers with those who have made the pilgrimage to Mary's shrine and to have a candle lit in the Virtual Memorial Chapel as a token of remembrance and devotion to the Black Madonna.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus A Catholic Community dedicated to promoting the Truths of the Catholic Faith under the protection and patronage of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
