Since the inception of the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate, music, especially liturgical music, has played a vital role. In religious formation and with the recommended thoughts of their Founder, the Sisters have learned religious songs which later proved to be useful in liturgies and in their work with children in the day cares. Blessed Edmund Bojanowski was meticulous in choosing a fitting repertoire, appropriate music and musically trained and talented Sisters. For 150 years, the Silesian Sisters have cultivated musical traditions. Organists, choir directors, pedagogues in church institutions, cantors, music teachers in schools and day cares, these Sisters have striven to spread the Faith precisely through beautiful music and songs for the glory of God. They have undertaken various musical and liturgical initiatives in their convents, in their dioceses and throughout the whole country during celebrations. They have concerned themselves immensely about music and have even published their own liturgical song books. They have also undertaken different initiatives which emphasize the requirements of their Founder as specifically concerns the care of preschool and day care children and church hymns throughout all the Congregations of the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate.
