The Idea of Bringing Up Children and Young People in the Teachings of Blessed Father Bronisław Markiewicz

Abstract

Blessed Father Bronisław Markiewicz (1842–1912) is one of the precursors of care and education pedagogy, being professionally equipped to work with young people. He founded the Society of Restraint and Work and the male and female Congregation of St Michael the Archangel. His concept and educational system were based on two virtues: restraint and work, as well as deep religious formation, love and conditions as close as possible to the family environment. He took care of poor, abandoned children, children from dysfunctional families and orphans. The main assumption of Markiewicz’s institutions was to provide pupils with the conditions for integral development and upbringing, as well as with constant assistance until they became independent. This article presents the biography of the clergyman and the educational ideas that he implemented in his institutions.
