Strumeň, a town in the Duchy of Těšín, bordering Pština, a strongly Protestant estate, was by the early 18th century a mostly Catholic locality, which provided significant support to the Roman Catholic Church in this part of Upper Silesia. This fact might be attributed to the successful cooperation of state and church offices within the implementation of recatholicisation policies which had been taking place since the 1670s. The successful, long-term pastoral work done by the local parson Jan Isidor Janus is also a likely contributing factor. One of the significant documents aimed towards the restoration of Catholicism in this town is the letter of the Těšín provincial governor Jan Laryš of Lhota to the mayor and council of Strumeň, dating from August 3, 1673. Based on the request by the Strumeň priest Janus, Laryš urges them under penalty of imprisonment to uphold the proper Catholic upbringing of the youth of Strumeň, as well as their regular attendance of catechism and their receiving of penance and the Eucharist. Besides editing this written source, this contribution places it in a wider context within the development of the Strumeň parish.
