Its cathedral, the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary and St. Nicholas, stands as one of Poland's official national Historic Monuments (Pomnik historii), as designated November 13, 2012.[1] This listing is maintained by the National Heritage Board of Poland.
In 2014, it became the first and for now the only one Polish diocese since a very long time where no deacon was ordinated a priest. About 31.3% of all Catholics in the diocese attend Sunday mass, which is lower than the average for the Polish nation as of 2013.
