After many years of absence from the Monastic School on St. Anne's Mountain, the brothers came from the Westphalian Franciscan Province and began to take a keen interest in male youth who could strengthen the monasteries in Silesia in the future. The Franciscans founded a convent school to attract young men. During their speeches in parishes and with the support of parish priests, the Fathers addressed Silesian families with a proposal that a gifted boy should begin his apprenticeship in a monastery school. This type of professional pastoral care led to success after only a few years. Unfortunately, the activity of the Franciscans was interrupted by the period of the cultural war, and the students of the monastery school ended up in the Netherlands. The waiting time was well used. After the end of the war, former graduates of the monastery school, who in the meantime completed their philosophical and theological studies in the Netherlands and Rome, paved the way for the establishment of an independent religious province in Silesia.
