Udział duszpasterzy z Górnego Śląska w życiu religijnym polskich emigrantów we Francji w okresie międzywojennym
La participation des prêtres de Haute-Silésie dans la vie religieuse des immigrés polonais en France entre les deux guerres

Summary/Abstract: After 1919 Polish Episcopate made efforts to establish the Polish Catholic Mission in Paris. In these initiatives the Primate of Poland was supported by bishops Arkadiusz Lisiecki and Stanisław Adamski. The arranging of pastoral care needed both cooperation and agreement between Episcopate in Poland and France, between the rector of the Polish Catholic Mission in Paris and managers of plants as well as with Polish labourers. One of the problems were an insufficient number of Polish priests to supply pastoral care for Polish workers. In the article daily life of Polish workers and conditions of pastoral work of Silesian priests were presented. The fruits of pastoral service in the interwar period is evidenced by descendants of Polish emigrants who still live in France and care for Polish traditions and customs.
