There are nine Society priests active in Poland. For the Ascension the Society is establishing its fourth priorate in the country in the Pomeranian village of Baersee (Bajerze) -- not fare from the city of Kulm. From these bases the Society can serve more chapels. A new chapel opened recently in October in the city of Posen. A hundred Catholics came to the opening of this chapel. In many locales these chapels are bursting at the seems and the Society is collecting donations for the construction of proper churches.What's with using the German names for Polish cities? Kulm is Chelmno, Posen is Poznan.

This article was apparently translated from German.

Because they were originally German Catholic cities?

I’m not certain, but I believe that the Germans and Poles have swapped that land back and forth a few times in the past hence the two names.
