Summary/Abstract: Research on the history of the Mission House of St. Wojciech (Adalbert) in Pieniężno until 1945 (largely based on the source material) allowed to reconstruct the genesis of this foundation and its local significance for the Church of Warmia. From the beginning the House of St. Wojciech lived in close relations with the local clergy and the people of this land. This peculiar fusion was very fruitful and mutually beneficial for the local Church. Inhabitants of this House showed extraordinary missionary zeal in the life of the Minor Missionary Seminary, as well as through their commitment to the foundations in the area of the Baltic States, especially Lithuania. However, the genius loci manifests itself especially in its post-war history – sending of hundreds of missionaries to peoples on all continents.
