The article concerns activities of St. Onufry Brotherhood that is seated at the Basilian orthodox church under invocation of Blessed Virgin Mary's Assumption in Warsaw in 1745–1861. It associated worshippers who belonged to Unite church and who lived in the capital and neighboring towns. There were also Roman Catholics. The brotherhood book was the source of knowledge about the confraternity history, the book is kept now in Vasyl Stefanyk Lviv National Scientific Library. The St Onufry brotherhood was formed thanks to the Basilian who have had the monastery in Warsaw since 1721. In 1744 pope Benedict XIV and Kiev metropolitan Atanazy Szeptycki allowed to move the confraternity to Warsaw. In the brotherhood book there are detailed descriptions of ceremony of aggregation's introduction to Basilian chapel in Podwale street, election of the brotherhood authorities, the list of items and funds that the confraternity owned. The book contains the information which let us know the names and the functions of monks who lived in the monastery in Warsaw, and it also gives the knowledge about the relationship between monks and the brotherhood members. St Onufry brotherhood had mainly clerical character but its members paid a lot of attention to furnish and decorate the orthodox church. At first they concentrated on gaining the chapel in Podwale street, and since 1784 a new Basilian temple under invocation of Blessed Virgin Mary's Assumption in Miodowa street.
