The Catholic Church’s care for the Polish emigration at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries

Józef Szymański



Abstract

The Catholic Church existing on the Polish territory, in the country torn apart by the invaders from the mid-19th century to World War I, took actions aimed at optimal organization of pastoral care among compatriots abroad. The socio-political situation, despite widespread calls for Polish priests for the care of the Polish immigration (permanent or seasonal), did not create favourable conditions for the implementation of this need due to the lack of central organization of the Church. Nevertheless, the church authorities of each Polish dioceses delegated priests to the Polish communities abroad. Having a Polish priest as a chaplain among the Poles in exile was an ideal the Church strove to achieve.
