Summary/Abstract: Poland’s Primate Cardinal. Stefan Wyszynski caring for the western and northern areas was the initiator and protector of the development of religious life in Western Pomerania. Cardinal Wyszynski’s long-term endeavours and efforts in the Holy See were indeed successful, as in 1972, along with other Polish dioceses in the western and northern dioceses the following ones were created: Gorzów, Szczecin–Kamieńsk, another one covering Central Pomerania and the Diocese of Koszalin–Kołobrzeg, based in Koszalin, which referred to the tradition of the former bishopric of Kolobrzeg. This was included in the boundaries of the Gniezno metropolis. The primate of Poland visited Koszalin, Kolobrzeg, and Slupsk twice. During his trips, he preached, sparing no efforts to encourage people to keep the faith and fidelity to the Catholic Church and the Christian traditions of the Polish nation.
