In the interwar period, Bishop W. Tymieniecki, trying to provide help for labourers’ children as well as meals to the unemployed and ‘the poor of Łódź, brought religious congregations to the diocese. For example, the Congregation of the Servants of the Sacred Heart intended for work in hospitals, the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of Mary Immaculate and the Felician Sisters responsible for orphanages, the Congregation of the Sisters of Good Shepherd of Divine Providence meant to take care of the lost girls and the Congregation of the Albertine Sisters Serving the Poor supposed to look after the poor and the homeless. After World War II a few religious congregations came into being; they were connected with the diocese as a result of the fall of the Warsaw Uprising and other military actions. Due to the repression by the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic, the religious congregations lost most of their undertakings and were forced to close their religious houses. Bishop Michał Klepacz, the then ordinary of the diocese (1946-1967), took care of religious congregations. When religious education was removed from schools, numerous nuns changed the nature of their work with children: they started teaching religious education. This was the congregations’ answer to the needs of the Church. Currently, new religious congregations, which see the necessity of working among those in need, are arriving in the archdiocese of Łódź. At present, in the archdiocese of Łódź there are 30 female orders and congregations that work apostolically in 60 religious houses.
