about the lack of news from Poland, Father Wyszy<ski wrote about his worries to the Superior General of the order on July 15, 1752.

For this reason he was considered to be an irresponsible man, acting on his own. Therefore, he remarked in his letter : I wish that such matters which are to serve God’s greater glory and the promotion of the Order would not be postponed until later, until a council or a chapter. The Superior General may decide these matters of his own authority. Father Wyszy<ski finally received the news that Father John Szkraffer was appointed to go to Portugal. Father Wyszy<ski insisted that he should get there as soon as possible, even if he had to take a loan for the journey. He claimed that they could not delay taking over the founda- tion in Portugal and spreading devotion to Mary Immaculate.
