Father Henryk Jackowski S.J. was the most important teacher and a spiritual guide of a future metropolitan Andrei Sheptyts’kyi while his intellectual and religious formation were being shaped (1880–1892). Jackowski underlined the importance of cooperation between the Latin and the Greek-catholic rites and perceived the Orthodox Church as a schismatic one. The submission to the Holy See was the most important to him. He didn’t seem to recognize the importance of the growing national conflict in Polish-Ukrainian/Ruthenian relations. Jackowski’s views became the part of Sheptyts’kyi’s teaching in the early years of his bishop and archbishop ministry. Nevertheless, the metropolitan saw the role of the Orthodox and the Ukrainians differently. After he had been chosen the archbishop of Lvov, his contacts with Ukrainian environment became closer and more frequent. He performed his duties and put into practice Jackowski’s program of organic work in the quickly changing political and social situation. There might have been some connection between Sheptyts’kyi’s declaration of Ruthenian identity (1885 r.) and accusations of polonization of the Greek-catholic rite that were formed against the Jesuits. Sheptyts’kyi’s contacts with the Jesuit Society slowly decreased. His Jesuit masters, that had introduced him into priesthood, were dying one by one.
