According to Meyers gazetteer...

Padniewo, estate in Kreis Mogilno, now called 'Hartfeld'. (1910)
Hartfeld, village of 439 persons.
The civil reg office was in Mogilno, whose train depot was 5.2 km from
Hartfeld.

Hartfeld was due west of Mogilno, on the other side of "little Padniewo"
(Padniewko).
I imagine that they worshiped in Mogilno.

Hope this helps,
