Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present the activity of the Polish Catholic Mission in France on the example of letters written by its rector, Fr. Leon Łagoda. The author analyses the content of this collection, referring mainly to the years 1929–1933. The collection sheds light on the pastoral and organisational activity of the Polish Catholic Mission in France. The author makes a clear distinction between the letters which Rector Leon Łagoda addressed to the faithful and the circulars, which were official texts intended for the clergy. A separate category constitutes letters addressed, for instance, to church hierarchs or those related to different celebrations.
