Działalność Stowarzyszenia Droga w latach 1987-20192
Activities of the Droga Association in the Years 1987-2019

Summary/Abstract: The author recalls the prophetic facts recorded in the more than 30-year history of the Droga Association, founded in Białystok by the charismatic Fr. Edward Konkol from the Society of the Divine Word Missionaries (SVD). This tall man with a booming voice gained the name of a “priest-institution”, and his Association – the most recognizable brand of Podlasie. An extended interview with Fr. Konkol and the memories of close associates of the Founder of the Association constitute the “database” of this text – but they do not exhaust the rich history of the Białystok institution. At the beginning of the “way” there was a meeting of Fr. Edward with a homeless man in a Warsaw sewer, then: Bialystok dens, detox in a vacant lot, Our Home, ETAP Centre, House of Return, Reconstruction of the Family, Center in Jastarnia. With the help of faithful associates, Fr. Konkol initiated a multifaceted program of therapeutic and spiritual help for homeless, addicted and children from poor families. On December 12, the first anniversary of Fr. Edward Konkol’s death passed – his opus vitæ continues.
