Perpetual Adoration - World Centre of Prayer for Peace in Niepokalanów

The work of creating the Chapel of Perpetual Peace of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in Niepokalanów was started in 2017. 

The creation of the Chapel was for many years the desire of the monastery and parish community, as well as pilgrims visiting this special place. Initially, it was expected that it would be a chapel serving the local communities and pilgrims. 

Design work commenced, commissioning the altar to Drapikowski Studio from Gdańsk. The concept of the altar arose. However, God's providence had other plans. In 2017, the letter of St. Maximilian and read it in the context of the resulting altar design. Already in 1934 Saint. Father Kolbe wrote from Japan to Poland: 

"I imagine the beautiful figure of the Immaculate Virgin in a great altar, and against it a monstrance between outstretched hands in the continuous display of the Blessed Sacrament." That was the shape of the altar's conceptual design. This extraordinary event was the direct reason why the Communita Regina della Pace Association proposed in November 2017 that the eighth star should find its place in Niepokalanów. 

Father Provincial Wiesław Pyzio agreed to this. Implementation of the project was commenced, which required carrying out a number of construction works and employing many contractors, and the chapel had to be organized from scratch, because the sacristy had been in this room before. 

The works were complicated and difficult because they could not disturb Masses and services held in the basilica.
