Jesuit priest Alfred Delp SJ, executed by the unjust National Socialist regime, once preached about John the Baptist, to whom this house of God has been entrusted as patron, as follows: „The figures of John must not be missing for an hour from the image of life. These shaped people, struck by the lightning of mission and calling. Their heart precedes them, and therefore their eye is so clear-sighted and their judgment so incorruptible. They do not call for the sake of calling or for the voice. Or because they envied people the beautiful hours of the earth, since they themselves are excluded from the small, intimate circles of the foreground. They have the great comfort that only he knows who has traversed the innermost and outermost boundaries of existence. They call down blessing and salvation. They call people to their last chance, while they already feel the ground trembling and the timbers creaking and see the firmest mountains inwardly wavering. ... Much depends on these figures for our lives. For how shall we hear if no one calls and truly surpasses the roaring of wild destruction and delusion?"

In 1468, thanks to King Kazimierz IV Jagiellończyk, they came to Radom oo. Bernardine monks starting the construction of the monastery. Simultaneously with the construction of the wooden monastery, the church of St. Catherine of Alexandria. Very soon after the construction of a wooden monastery, already in 1480, the construction of a brick monastery began. The complex was fortified. Over the centuries, the monastery was expanded - the chapel of St. Anna, renovation works were carried out, it was given a baroque character, and cloisters were built. In 1864, the monastery was dissolved and many monks were sent deep into Russia for their patriotic activities. The monastery and the church were then taken over by diocesan priests. The Bernardines again return to Radom in 1936. In the church of St. Catherine, there is a perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Since 2000, the monastery has been operating the Kitchen for the Poor of St. Anthony.
