Father Kubis was born in 1874 in Proszów, near Namysłów in the Opole region. He studied in Friborg and Wrocław. He was a pastor in the Opole temple from 1917 to 1945. When Fr Kubis was sent to Opole, the parish of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross covered the area of 15 surrounding villages. In total, it had about 37,000 faithful. It is no wonder that the church authorities decided to build more temples. And they entrusted this task to priest Kubis, who turned out to be a great organizer and performer of the tasks entrusted to him.
Ks. Kubis was also very entrepreneurial! To carry out and finance all these investments, he would involve his parishioners and distribute bricks in the form of postcards or plaster casts.
In the cathedral itself, organs were built during his time. The former marble altar, dedicated to Our Lady of Opole, was also changed to a new, neo-Baroque one, which was brought from Jelenia Góra in 1927. Thanks to the efforts of Father Kubis, the painting famous for its favors has also been restored.
Prelate Kubis died due to illness on May 6, 1945 in Prószków, where he was buried. Undoubtedly, as an outstanding pastor, he permanently entered the history of the city and diocese.
Plaque commemorating Fr. Józef Kubis
Six temples in Opole and around the city; three hospitals and an old people's home with a hospital for the mentally ill for children and adults - he built so many sacred buildings and facilities over the past three decades as priest of the cathedral parish, Fr. Monsignor Józef Kubis.
How it working
To listen to the history of monuments as part of the "Discover History" project, you need to follow a few simple steps. Below, we present a short, step-by-step "user manual" to provide a relatively simple way to access the mini-auditions.
You need a smartphone with a camera. The camera lens should be pointed at the information plaque located next to the monument. Below is a view of the plaque itself and its example location next to the Karol Musioł monument in Opole.
After pointing your smartphone's camera at the QR code located on the right side of the plaque, the app's welcome screen will appear, followed by a screen with the name, photo of the monument, and the "START" button.
The "START" button starts the audio recording process.
Your smartphone will prompt you with the next steps after you listen to the story or pause it. Please keep an eye on your smartphone screen!
Other available options: brief information about the monument, author of the text and recording, list of other monuments in the city included in the "Discover History" project, downloadable map of monuments, video, and social media links

Monuments in cities remind us of the history of places and people, and allude to important events. They are also works of art. Bronze, metal, wood, or concrete transformed into the form of a monumental obelisk attract attention. We enjoy sitting by them, taking photos, and making appointments.
Project partners
Implementing the "Discover history" project in each city requires the involvement of many people: programmers, graphic designers, writers, actors, sound engineers, and coordinators. It is thanks to them that this project came to life.
Our ambition is to continually expand its reach. Therefore, we thank our current partners and invite additional cities, institutions, companies, and individuals to collaborate!
