Jadwiga Czechowa (age 84), born in Wielowieś on November 16, 1863

At the age of seventeen I attended school founded by Mother Columba Białecka. What I remember about her is that she was rather short, a blond of very nice appearance. For us, children, she was always kind and smiley. People addressed her “Reverend Mother,” but among themselves they called her “Angel.” This is how much she was respected and loved due to her virtues and evident holiness of life.
