The article presents the achievements of Sister Roza Czacka related to the rehabilitation, education and upbringing of people with visual impairments. It demonstrates the convergence between her assumptions and methods with current trends in the field of sight rehabilitation, development of spatial orientation, social attitudes towards the blind, adaptation of books and aids, early development support, rehabilitation education and the importance of work for the blind. The above mentioned issues are extremely important for the improvement of living conditions of the blind as well as for their integration as contributing members of society. The value of the Order of Franciscan Sisters Servants of the Cross, founded by the Charity of Franciscan women, is confirmed through its century long period of activity and the high level of institutions it operates in Poland and around the world. The work which Róża Czacka began is constantly developing in accordance with the founder's main principles of preparing the visually impaired, within the context of a religious upbringing, to lead independent lives.
