I left my little daughter Anna Karolina to relatives, I went abroad to save health. I left my wedding rings at the icon of the Black Madonna in Czestochowa and vowed to live “in God and for God” (writes Credo).
Together with Jozef Karska in 1857, she founded in Rome a congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary to work on the revival of the family, properly raising young women. Returning to Russia in 1863, she became the founder of the first abbess of the monastery of the Sisters of the Immaculate in the city of Yazlovets near Buchach in the Ternopil region (the first Christian boarding school for girls from noble Catholic families).
Seven nuns, led by their mother Marcelina, created an institution that became a model for such schools throughout the then Poland, Western Ukraine, Belarus. The innovation of Marcelina Darovskaya is the introduction of an individual approach to youth education. With the blessing of Pope Pius IX, the sisters of the Immaculate Conception were granted (in 1863, the landowner Yazlovts Baron Blazhovsky [6] ) under the monastery the palace of the Polish royal family Ponyatovsky .

The monastery and the school were closed in 1946 by the Soviet regime, after 50 years the sisters managed to return the chapel, part of the rooms in the former Poniatowski palace, and the catacombs where the dead sisters were buried were consecrated.
