Abstract

In this article, I will analyze the memories of Fr. Wacław Bliziński and Fr. Ignacy Lasocki and an autobiography by Fr. Jan Wiśniewski. The aim of this article is to show the turning points in the biographies of Catholic priests, which influenced their social and educational activities at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in the Kingdom of Poland. The period of priests' activity was related to the time of strong modernization changes experienced by the society of the Polish lands at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. In the first theoretical part of the article, I will outline the issues of turning points and breakthroughs in human life and present sources for research and biographical information about the authors of the personal materials. In the second analytical part, I will discuss the indications of turning points in the researched source material, focusing mainly on the state of affairs from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries until 1918, which were related to social, educational and care activities.
