Ladies and gentlemen,
I hope that the year 2025 – like me – brought you many joyous moments. Looking back over the past fewer months, I can say with satisfaction that the Center for Life and household is developing, and many of our projects have been successful.
At the same time, this year proved, unfortunately, erstwhile again, to be a time of intense tightening of civilization's conflict. We have faced many new, highly hard challenges which in the current socio-political scenery in our homeland required our urgent response.
Unfortunately, many of them I can say that despite the battles won, this is surely not the end of the fight.
The year 2025 was undoubtedly for us a time of hard work to defend the dignity of life, household rights, in defence of young people from ideological and civilizational threats.
We've got over 40,000 miles behind us. Hundreds of meetings with parents, teachers, youth, local activists, politicians. Thousands of conversations, discussions, during which we experienced how much agitation and anxiety related to actions aimed at frequently straight at the most crucial values.
So let me look at the past months with you for a moment, trying to remind and summarize our most crucial actions in 2025 – with gratitude for what we have achieved through our commitment Friends, but besides with plans for the future.
Many of the projects we dealt with this year were a continuation of the projects already started. Areas specified as education and the protection of young people from various threats require our constant and even expanding concern.
When writing to you in the beginning of the year and summarizing the erstwhile year, I pointed to these aspects of our work and outlined further plans for their development.j
We kept our promise.
Since the beginning of the year, we have continued intensive work on blocking the "deform" of the education system, carried out by Minister Barbara Nowacka.
We announced the planned introduction of a mandatory fresh subject – wellness education, in which the program base included depraved content embedded in the mainstream sex ideology and depreciating the function of the family.
The immense commitment of afraid parents, teachers and experts who combined their efforts to defend children yet led to a breakthrough: MEN withdrew from imposing wellness education as a compulsory subject.
I would like to stress that in all the activities we have undertaken to defend the Polish school from ideology, we were not alone. As part of the Coalition for the Salvation of the Polish School, we worked among experts, educators and teachers, as well as parents to prevent the demolition of education. We were based on the substantive voice of scientists and practitioners, not on our own fears or superstitions, as we were accused of.
The immense amount of our commitment to building awareness about the risks associated with the planned improvement by MEN shows numbers: during this year we have circled Poland respective times, riding on meetings with communities afraid about the welfare of children and young people. With my parents.who wanted to know what their children would encounter during "health" education classes and what they could do to defend them; with teachers, fearing that they will be forced to conduct classes with permissive sexual education, or local governmentwho invited us to reflect the “unconvinced” threat ahead. This is an highly fruitful time, rich in discussions, sharing experiences and supporting the fight for the youngest generation.
But I think what weighed on the final triumph was protests against planned destructive changes, organised locally in many localities, and topped with a manifestation under the motto “Stop the liquidation of Polish education!” held on 13 September in Castle Square in Warsaw. This day has shown how crucial social opposition to planned changes is.
And the final effects of our campaign we saw after September 25, erstwhile the period given to parents ended to decide whether their kid would attend wellness education classes – in any cities the rate of resignation was up to 90%Oh, my God! It is simply a spectacular consequence and a decisive defeat of the ministry.
Here I would like to thank all of you again for your commitment to this fight. Thank you for your aid in spreading information about the depraved nature of the fresh subject, for all your invitations to meetings and for your individual testimony.
There is no force more powerful than the parents' love for the kid – it is simply a force that must decision even the ideologied institutions!
I support specified actions! |
But wellness education was evidently not the only trap prepared by the ministry under the leadership of Barbara Nowacka.
In January, the Minister signed a decree that religion would be taught 1 hr a week from the fresh school year and that was optional. Classes were to take place only in the first or last lesson, and any additional hours were to be transferred to the catechical rooms. This meant returning to the state before 1990.
This movement of catechets has been addressed by the mechanics of the citizens' legislative initiative. Then We helped them collect signatures under the billwho introduces compulsory 1 hr of religion or ethics at school.
Additionally, there is simply a ban on housework, cutting from the programming basis of various crucial items of information, e.g. about the improvement of man or Polish heroes, specified as Rtm. Witold Pilecki or Fr. Maximilian Maria Kolbe and drastic limitation of the canon of mandatory readings.
This is all in a clear image of the pursuit of rebuilding the school into an highly ideological and inept institution.
I can safely say that specified a desolation in education has not occurred for many years. all another month, erstwhile Barbara Nowacka is liable for the education of Polish children and young people, brings a disaster, the consequences of which will be fixed for years.
In the end, however, 1 conviction of the minister's bitterness was passed on during the conference on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, in which she stated that "Polish Nazis built camps".
After this event We petitioned Prime Minister Donald Tusk, demanding resignation by Minister of Education. She signed it. Over 70 000 people. However, Barbara Nowacka kept her position in the reconstruction of the government.
However, our actions have a kind of affirmative point.
On 17 December, together with Marek Puzio and Dr. Artur Górecki from the Ordo Iuris Institute, I attended a gathering at the Presidential Palace on changes to the education bill. We then called for vetoing destructive changes in the education proposed by the government. We critically assessed the "Reforma26.Compassion of Tomorrow" project, which in our opinion weakens the rights of parents, the autonomy of teachers and lowers the level of teaching.
Shortly thereafter, president Karol Nawrocki vetoed the education bill, stopping – at least for now – the demolition of the Polish education system.
Thus, the year’s graduation resulted in another success, a long - word hard work by many communities allied to attempts to destruct the school!
However, our actions in the field of education are not just blocking adverse changes, protests and criticism. We besides offer a real, affirmative alternative.
Our consequence to attempts at ideological devastation is the program Family Friendly Schoolwhich we worked intensively on in the past year.
I'll remind you, Friendly School household is simply a program supporting educational institutions in the implementation of various activities for marriage, household and the defence of the dignity of life. To the schools that joined the program, we direct special teaching offer. all month, we send them work cards and schoolroom scenarios prepared by experts, as well as publications on the defence of the life and identity of the family.
In consequence to attempts of ideological indoctrination in schools by LGBT organisations and the "progressive" ministry, On October 31, we conducted the action of the Noble Friday. Thus, for years, we have been showing young people actual values: purity, fidelity and nobility, and helping them build a unchangeable foundation of virtues, protecting them from ideological influences hidden under the appearance of tolerance. This year, full facilities joined the action! This is simply a beautiful evidence to your commitment and your heart in educating young people.
We are besides continuing our run “A school free of smartphones!”, appealing to the ruling authorities for changes that have already introduced with excellent effect respective countries: the ban on the usage of digital mobile devices in schools. Experts point to the ever-increasing dangers associated with the absorption of young people through life in a virtual world. On the 1 hand, it is addiction, problems in science, deficits in attention, but on the another hand, it is besides increasing difficulties in social contact, a sense of loneliness and an increased incidence of intellectual problems in young people, leading even to suicide attempts. These demands are becoming increasingly popular!
Our actions to defend young people are besides direct meetings with young people. This year we hosted, among others, on youth festival in Dębowec and Maxfestival in Niepokalanów. To young people, we addressed lectures on current topics, talked about character formation, building ourselves in a hard and frequently other to conservative values of the world. We gave distant our materials, our gadgets, but we besides talked. And it is these conversations that reassure me that young people truly request to strengthen, guide, support in the fact that it makes sense to live by religion and a Christian-based moral system.
From these meetings came the thought of creating a wider Formation programme for young people. In autumn, we started with Dr. Artur Górecki youth gathering cycle at the Stańczyk Club. The topics addressed are, on the 1 hand, the continuation of what we are talking about during field meetings, i.e. self-evoking, character shaping, but besides explaining the planet around us and its crises.
This kind of "organic work" with young people is simply a truly pressing request today. I believe it will bring large results in building strong personalities for hard times.
And I would like to remind you, in a way, at the end of this year's summary of all our actions in the defence of young people, another very crucial initiative: the run Stop drug pornography.
Of course, it dates back to 2024, erstwhile we supported the collection of signatures under a civilian bill protecting children from pornography. With the large aid of many of you who responded to this appeal, the Initiative Committee managed to collect as many as 200,000 signatures and submit them to the Sejm before last Christmas.
In the beginning of this year, we closed the next phase of the campaign: On 6 March, the first reading of the Act was held in the Sejm, preceded by the speech of Mr Rafał Dorosiński from the Ordo Iuris Institute.. Before this crucial day we besides organized call to Membersto make them aware of the large threat to young people of pornography and how many Poles anticipate to take measures to defend them from access to harmful content.
And here we have had a decisive success!
The draft was aimed at further work in the committee, and all those who spoke after the presentation of the draft agreed that unrestricted access to pornography for young people is simply a immense problem. We have besides heard from them many expressions of appreciation for our initiative and declarations of willingness to cooperate further on this project.
Once again, I warmly thank you for your large commitment to this matter! This shows how abundant the fruits of patient work and cooperation are.
Our actions are besides a concern for the defence of fundamental civilian liberties.
Last year we succeeded in successfully ending the campaign “Stop the dictatorship of minorities!” concerning the government's planned introduction of the "Speak of Hate" Act, according to which, for example, prison could be threatened for telling the fact about homosexuality. The effects of akin government are very visible in the west, which is why strong opposition was essential in this regard.
However, it must be acknowledged that the force of the rulers to introduce this law was enormous. Since the beginning of their word of office, they have clearly announced that this will be 1 of the most urgent projects. The reasons were obvious— closing the mouth of citizens would open the way for the seamless implementation of successive laws that undermine social order, like the Law on Relationships and in future besides allowing gay couples to adopt children.
Therefore We conducted a wide-ranging information campaignto make Poles aware of the actual goals of the ruling, hiding behind the slogans about the defence of minorities. We produced the movie “Speaks of Hate. Mask of totalitarianism”, which depicts the origin and essence of the concept of “speak of hate”, indicating how life in the shadow of specified a law will look in practice.
The minute the bill reached its climax, we were prepared. Under our petition we collected nearly 35,000 signatures and 4 April – a week after the adoption of the Censorship Act by the Sejm – We put them on the hands of president Andrzej Duda.
Social opposition and in this case it has produced results! The president referred the bill to the Constitutional Court, and he shortly later declared it unconstitutional.
However, the "speak of hate" Act was 1 of those that would return to the presidential desk, erstwhile it could be freely "pushed" – that is, erstwhile Rafał Trzaskowski became president.
And although, as you know, we tend to avoid a clear political commitment on either side, this time we considered it necessary.
That minute – the presidential run and elections – was absolutely groundbreaking for Poland. If they were won by a candidate for the civilian Coalition, that would mean the strategy would close. All the most “progressive”, destructive and destructive social order of laws would already pass unhindered by both the Sejm and the hands of the President's ruling majority.
After all, in line for the signature there were besides draft laws on partnerships or abortion. The election of Rafał Trzaskowski would mean a direct threat to unborn children (the laws protecting their lives were called "the medieval law" and even declared their willingness to initiate a legislative initiative aimed at introducing a liberal abortion law), to throw distant household rights (because they actually conducted laws on partnerships or on "hate speech") and to gradually destruct our freedom and sovereignty.
That is why we have decided to do as much as we can to prevent that choice from happening.
Even before the first circular of elections, we started a run #Byle NieTrzaskowskiin order to make the people of Poland aware of the threat posed by this candidate. We prepared respective tens of thousands of information leaflets, in which we reminded direct statements by Trzaskowski himself, best showing his actual – not those adapted to the time of the election run – views. any of them were sent immediately to our sympathizers, and we encouraged them to be downloaded from the website and distributed in their environments.
We couldn't influence the election process in any way, we didn't even want to say who to vote for. But it was clear to us that It was our work to discover this threat, powdered and dressed in patriotic robes during the campaign.
And although the final consequence of the election was of course due to the prudence of Poles, I am glad that we could in this decisive for our The Fatherland of the minute to add our brick to specified a decision.
Going slow to the end of this conclusion, I would like to remind you of our permanent initiatives and initiatives that we have supported erstwhile again.
First, of course, we should mention March for Life and Family, which for 20 years have been hosted on the pro-family map of Poland. This year she marched with us over 80 localities, defending the right to life for all man and showing the value of matrimony and family.
Thank you very much for your continued commitment to this crucial initiative and for your witness!
Several marches that took place this year, however, I can describe as exceptional.
The peculiar effect was March for Life and household in Oleśnica, which took place a fewer weeks after the execution in small Felk's hospital, a nine-month-old boy who – although there were doctors who offered him their aid and treatment – was killed as a consequence of an abortion. This case shook all of Poland, showing the realism of the barbaric process of killing unborn children. Symbolically, the Oleśnica March for Life and household passed under the windows of the infirmary where the abortion of small Felk was performed.
An exceptional accent was besides accompanied by March for Life and household in Suwałkiwhere during the event the letter sent to the participants by president Karol Nawrocki was read. Mr. president greeted all those gathered and besides assured his support for the matters that we communicate through marches to the public.
Of course, we besides joined National March of Life, which under the motto “Poland always faithful” passed through the streets of the capital in late April, emphasising not only the request to defend life, but besides the full Christian heritage of Poland, in which the heritage of the civilization of life fits.
We besides co-organised Festival for Life and household in Wroclaw, where interesting lectures, workshops, screening of the movie "Unplanned", a performance of sacral music in the cathedral, as well as integration events and attractions for children were waiting for the participants.
In March we joined the organization Men's Way of the Cross, which went through Warsaw for the 4th time, this time surrounded by a peculiar prayer of the family. In June, we supported another event – The National Order of Christ the Kingwhich was part of Nowena before the large Jubilee of the 2000th anniversary of Redemption.
In early November, in the vicinity of the AboTak abortion clinic, we organized Boots for the unbornduring which we prayed the rosary in the intention of defending the life of unborn children. This event was not only a sign of memory and spiritual communication, but besides a circumstantial appeal to the authorities to depart from the current abortion course and to environment Polish families with concern and make conditions conducive to the establishment of families and children.
This year again supported Polish participants of the IFTCC conference, which took place in October in Warsaw. The aim of the event is to train professionals, psychologists, pastoralists and advisors who work with young people struggling with unwanted homosexual tendencies or sex identity disorders based on the Christian concept of man and a faith-based view of his sexuality and sexuality. During the conference I had the chance to share with participants your experience of working for the defence of youth and family before the destructive ideological influences.
Traditionally, we besides produced beautiful calendar for 2026The subject of which is this time the cathedral. 15,000 copies of the calendar “How to read Cathedral?” we brought to Lithuaniawhere they went to Polish houses, institutions, schools and parishes. It is besides an initiative which, with the support of our Friends, we can proceed for another year.
Just before Christmas as usual, we invited you to share the good and support collection for finishing and boarding for blind boys in Chicksso the fresh home can service them with comfortable and functional interiors soon.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Since the merger of the Life and household Center teams and the Ordo Iuris Institute in 2024, we have been the largest extra-parliamentary force against Donald Tusk's cabinet policy.
Even our opponents, to whom we are a real threat, admit this by putting a dam of their destructive actions.
The merger has given us the chance to carry out even more effective activities on many levels. On the 1 hand, experts: preparing reports and analyses, draft laws, legal opinions and substantive inclusion in the legislative process. On the another hand, the usage of social possible developed over the years of activity, through the organization of marches, pickets, demonstrations, preparation and dissemination of formation materials, guides, films, flyers or yet exerting force on decision-makers petitions signed by tens of thousands of Poles.
And while we inactive encounter obstacles that sometimes endanger our further activities, I must say that so far – thanks to the generosity of our friends' hearts – we are able to overcome them.
This was besides the case this year erstwhile we one more time faced the request to decision to a fresh office. Together with the Ordo Iuris Institute, we had to decision out of the PAST building and then finance a thorough renovation of the premises in the fresh location – this time in the alleged Blue Tower at the Bank Square. Although the work was complicated, and the necessity to operate in dispersed teams and without direct contact made our operation difficult, we yet managed to start working in the fresh office on vacation.
This is an crucial step for us, creating better conditions for cooperation between our organisations, fresh prospects for improvement and a space that we have missed so much to be able to effectively carry out our mission of protecting life and family.
This is why, erstwhile again, I would like to thank you warmly for all the support you give us in our activities: both practical, financial, organizational and prayerful. Without you, we would not be able to carry out even a tiny part of all the projects that I have recalled above.
I would besides like to ask you to proceed this support in the coming year. We have many more challenges ahead of us. The Threats That Bring Ours Both the ruling and global forces of pressure, wishing to change political and social order in Poland to the left-wing fashion, surely stay alive. Moreover, I am convinced that many of them will be inflamed, and the force exerted on Poles to adapt to destructive trends will increase.
For us, this is the safest form of assistance from you, due to the fact that only permanent, regular support gives us the chance to plan far-reaching activities with a wider scope. Thanks to the regular assistance of our Donors, we do not gotta act only reactionaryly, worrying each time that we can rise the essential amount to finance a given initiative.
| I support the Centre of Life and Family! |
Looking back, I must say again: we have a busy, challenging year behind us. But looking forward to the coming year 2026, I know that this will not be easier either.
Civil war continues, opponents of life and household do not let go for a moment. Therefore, many of our actions will surely proceed in the coming months.
Today we know that specified a fight will proceed for the future of children and young people. Young people have been targeted by left-wing revolutionaries for years, as it is easier to influence and form their frequently unruly view of the world. Yet it is they who will decide about the future of Poland, carrying national heritage into subsequent generations. Will it be a legacy of faith, civilization of life and order based on the most crucial social cell – family, or an inheritance of anti-value, of death civilization, and devastating everything that will encounter in its way of cultural revolution?
Education must besides stay at the heart of our interest. The rulers have already announced that they do not quit the fight for forced wellness education, the ideology of the school, the foolishness and the preying of students.
We besides want to stand up for the dignity of all life, resisting further attempts to introduce abortions in Poland on request – and these will most likely appear – and defend the institution of matrimony as a permanent union between a female and a man, open to adoption of offspring. In the face of our country's crisis, which is marked by a systematic decline in the number of married couples, and the increase in divorces, as well as the progressive demographic disaster, are the actions that we consider absolutely necessary.
I want that this coming year will bring you prosperity both in your individual life and in your professional ventures, especially those undertaken for the common good and the welfare of your homeland. May he be abundant in the request for grace, as well as time with his household and moments of rest.
And we return to our work to defend life, family, freedom and sovereignty
Greetings.
Marcin Perłowski
Director of the Centre for Life and Family
