Piotr Skarga Institute for Social and Religious Education is founded. It is supervised by foreign TFP activists. The Institute is managed by monarchists from the Skarga Association.

The monarchists quietly transfer the assets of the Skarga Institute to the Skarga Association. The TFP-linked supervisory board removes them from the Institute's management board.

Kraków-based monarchists start a close cooperation with Leonard Przybysz, a TFP delegate from Brazil.

The Skarga Institute establishes the Ordo Iuris Foundation, formed by a group of conservative lawyers. Members of the Skarga Institute, which provides funding, sit on the Ordo Iuris supervisory board.

The monarchists establish TFP-inspired Piotr Skarga Association of Christian Culture. It includes a publishing house and sells devotional articles.
