During the period of intense Communist repression in Czechoslovakia, Josef Roubíček served as an acting mission president. Despite constant surveillance and the threat of imprisonment, he maintained the Church's presence by sending frequent letters to scattered Saints, holding clandestine meetings, and organizing conferences to strengthen the faith of members who were otherwise isolated by the state.
