Michael, asked for the visitation to be conducted. In order to raise the standard of the religious life there, the Visitator, Father James Wolski, of the Order of the Reformati, appoint- ed two Reformati to work at the Korabiew Forest, Father Mansueto Leporini to be the Novice Master, and Father Felician Szadkowski to be the Instructor of Theology. By demanding strict religious observance, Casimir exposed himself to the displeasure of many of the brethren. It is no wonder, then, that among the opinions about him during his stay in the novitiate some negative voice could always be heard. There were even attempts at prolonging his novitiate, and postponing his religious profession. Even on March 19, 1725, when his family arrived to participate in the ceremony of his profession, yet another vote was hastily organized to decide whether he should be admitted to the vows. Casimir of St. Joseph Wyszy<ski made his solemn religious profession before Father Joachim Koz=owski, in the presence of Father Michael Gibler and Father Ignatius of St. Matthew, who was the Confessor of the community, and a member of the house council. Brother Casimir now began intensive preparations for the priesthood. On March 31, 1725, Easter Saturday, in St. John’s collegiate church in Warsaw, he received his tonsure and four Minor Orders. On December 22nd of the same year he received the sub-diaconate, and on March 16, 1726, the diaconate. On April 20, 1726, the Bishop of Pozna<, John Joachim Tar=o, ordained him to the priesthood. 17 THE SERVANT OF MARY IMMACULATE
