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?"

The plane crash during the Radom Air Show in 2009 - an accident that took place on August 30, 2009 at 13:17 during the Radom Air Show. During the second day of the show, the Belarussian Su-27UBM-1 plane (being modernized at the 558th Aviation and Repair Plant in Baranavichy) crashed. It fell on a field near a wooded area in the village of Małęczyn near Radom. Immediately after the accident, the W-3 helicopter on duty at the Radom airport from the 2nd Search and Rescue Group in Mińsk Mazowiecki went to the crash site to secure the area and find the pilots. In a short time, 6 units of the Fire Brigade were able to take the place, with the aim of controlling the fire. Soon after the crash, the police and the organizers of the show confirmed the deaths of two pilots - Colonel Alyaksandr Marficki (deputy operational-tactical commander of the Air Force Command and Anti-Aircraft Defense Forces of Belarus) and Colonel Alyaksandr Zhuraulewicz (deputy commander of the 61st Fighter Air Base).
