Krakow, Poland – May 2024 – Four young Salesians were ordained deacon on Saturday, 18 May in the Salesian St Stanislaus Kostka Church in Dębniki, Krakow: Paweł Klasa, Norbert Rosiński, Radosław Szyłak and Maciej Walkowiak. The celebration was presided over by Bishop Edward Kawa, OFMConv, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Lviv and Secretary General of the Episcopal Conference of Ukraine. In addition to parents and friends of the four new deacons, many young people were present, as well as the Superiors of the Polish Salesian Provinces and various Salesians. It is worth noting that Bishop Kawa arrived in Poland personally driving a bus to bring some stalls to the Salesian church in Przemyślany on his return to Ukraine. In 2023, the President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, awarded the bishop the Knight's Cross of the Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland.
