Abstract
The author’s aim in this article is the presentation of the publishing activity of Rev. Franciszek Blachnicki during 1965–1981. The materials initially published by Rev. Blachnicki were devoted to liturgical renewal and were related to the National Ministry of Altar Servers. When Rev. Blachnicki expanded the activity of the Oasis Life-Light Movement in the late 1960s, however, the literature he published was mostly intended for the formation of children, youths, and the movement’s adult members. He also published numerous liturgical aides, such as hymnals, prayerbooks, and lectionaries. In the period under discussion, Rev. Blachnicki also prepared and published several hundred books and initiated the publication of several magazines. Rev. Blachnicki’s publishing activity expanded without the consent of authorities. He created a network of hidden mimeographs and his own independent system of distribution. This culminated in the creation of the Life-Light Publishing House, which was supposed to perform all the tasks expected of a publisher, in 1978. From the very beginning of his publishing activity, Rev. Blachnicki was under the surveillance of the Security Services. Despite the Security Services’ operational activities and far-reaching revisions, his publishing activity did not cease.
