111 Apostolate or Contemplation: 1677-1723 buildings. This time, Fr. Broliński supported the Marians eagerly, so everything went smoothly and quickly. On October 23, 1699, the Intromissio (introduction) was issued in the administrative office in Czersk. By this document, Fr. Papczyński (and the Marians as his future legal successors) was officially introduced into the perpetual possession of the foundation’s goods.181 On December 5, 1699, Gianantonio Davia, the Apostolic Nuncio in Warsaw, granted Fr. Papczyński permission to celebrate Holy Mass in the Goźlin chapel at — as the document states — super altari portatili, i.e., a portable altar, but subject to the consent of the local ordinary. On October 29, Bishop Hieronim Wierzbowski issued the necessary license for the church and monastery in Goźlin at Fr. Papczyński’s request. According to the license, the Marians had the right to preach, hear confessions, conduct funeral services, especially the funerals of distinguished figures, and lay those who had requested it in the church catacombs.182 Initially, Marian buildings in Goźlin were very humble. The building pompously called the church was a small wooden chapel intended as a place for the Marians and the residents of the court to pray. It was connected to a wooden monastery with four simple cells as humble lodgings for the religious. The construction of sacred buildings was carried out smoothly. It seems that in just a few months after Fr. Broliński’s terrifying vision of evil spirits, i.e., from June 30, 1699, the buildings, or at least their exteriors, were probably completed, because, on December 5, 1699, Nuncio Gianantonio Davia granted Fr. Papczyński permission to celebrate Mass in Goźlin at the noviter extructa, or newly built church. In addition to land and generous privileges, allowing the use of lakes, forests, and meadows within the borders of his family estate, John Lasocki also bequeathed to the Marians certain sums of money, invested “perpetually” in various land estates, including 9,000 zlotys, from which they were to collect interest perpetually. Soon after the act of donation, the benefactor passed away. Unfortunately, after his death, his widow Cecylia and two brothers of the deceased refused to pay the due amount to the monastery. Fr. Papczyński’s attempts to amicably attributed to the prayers of Fr. Papczyński. 181 Prot.
