We are pleased to announce that the International Art Competition „St. Ignatius Loyola Through the Eyes of Children and Youth,” organized by the Public Primary School Bolesław Krzywousty in Wolin, ended.

Forty-eight works were awarded or distinguished on the international stage in seven competition categories. Three hundred eighty-four works from over 100 schools, kindergartens, cultural and educational institutions (from Poland, Bolivia, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Ethiopia, Philippines, France, India, Ireland, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lithuania, Myanmar, Germany, Norway, Rwanda, Ukraine, Hungary and Italy) were submitted to the competition.

Fr. Provincial Zbigniew Leczkowski SJ sent thanks to the participants and organizers of the competition, and awarded the prize to a student from the Philippines and two distinctions for the works of students from Szczecin and Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan).

Dear Participants of the international art competition, which on the occasion of the Ignatian Year was entitled „St. Ignatius of Loyola through the eyes of children and youth.”

From May 16, 2021, to July 31, 2022, we commemorated the 500th anniversary of the conversion of the Founder of the Order, which today includes over 14,000 men ready to follow St. Ignatius, loving and serving people for the greater glory of God. I am very grateful that you honored this outstanding figure in such a beautiful and creative way.

I congratulate those whose works have been awarded and encourage all of you to continue to develop the talents you have received from God. Let St. Ignatius continues to inspire you and intercede for you.

I want to express my gratitude to the organizers of the competition, headed by Rev. Marcin Miczkuła. You made an excellent gift for the Jesuits, promoting our Founder among children and young people and providing us with an unforgettable artistic experience.

Thank you, and I bless you from the bottom of my heart
Fr. Zbigniew Leczkowski SJ
Provincial
