Summary/Abstract: The undated document comes from the file of Ľudovít Orješek (1917 – 1974) from the Archive of Security Forces in Prague, which was kept against him by the State Security. The text dates back into the period of persecution of the Church in the 1950s. At the same time, it is proof that its author, Father Ludovít Orješek, was involved in the formation and education of candidates for entry into the Daughters of Christian Charity – Vincentians. These were prepared in secret at a time when the religious orders were already dissolved and the nuns were under the supervision of the state. Orješek urges them to be careful not to talk about their decision to join the religious order anywhere and not to confide even in those closest to them.
