Circulation of The Knight of the Immaculata at Niepokalanow zoomed to 60,000. Father Maxmilian needed new and larger printing facilities. Through a priest, with whom he had shared his needs and vision, he made the acquaintance of a Mr. Srzednicki.
During the first five years at Niepokalanow, they added a college, a novitiate,
a friary for professed Franciscans, a hospital with 100 beds, a plant which furnished them all their electricity and even, a fire department. Communication was on the move; they added a radio station! The work was to go world-wide; they needed and built an airport!
But with all this building of the Church with bricks, stone and cement, Father and his knights never forgot Who the Church was! As Father Maxmilian loved his Mother Mary, he adored his Brother Jesus, especially in the Holy Eucharist. At Niepokalanow, the Eucharist was the Center of their life and Apostolate. Father and the friars would interrupt their work and sleep, to take turns adoring the Lord in the Holy Eucharist. The more they adored Her Son, the
more the Lord’s Mother fought for them, and they grew!
The circulation of The Knights of the Immaculata swelled to a million copies per issue. Added to this, were nine different
publications, all serving Mother Church in a different area, filling the needs of all the parts of the Mystical Body of Christ. It was exciting!
