Summary/Abstract: This article presents Father Stefan Podworski – one of the most outstanding monks at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In 2013 we celebrated the 100th anniversary of his death. Father Stefan Podworski stood out as a fervent priest with excellent organizational abilities. He was also a brilliant preacher with a strong, beautiful voice. Father Podworski worked in two monasteries: in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska and Alwernia. He rendered especially great services during preparations to the coronation of a miraculous painting of Kalwarian Blessed Virgin, which took place in 1887. Later, Father Podworski was very keen in spreading Her worship.
