Pieta, the conservation of which has been described in this article comes from the church under the invocation of Bishop Stanislavus in Wielgomłyny. Unfortunately no documents have survived concerning the time of the creation of the sculpture and the experts have set the date of its origin for 1400—1450. The conservation and the reconstruction of the Pieta were done by Ilia lliew and Lucjanna Młyńska from the Workshop for the Conservation of Art Works in Kielce (a branch office of the State Ateliers for the Conservation of Cultural Property). The object was in a very bad condition. Wood's structure deteriorated markedly as a result of a natural process of the material ageing, infection with insects and mechanical impairing. Apart from that, some of the details were missing. The whole structure was cracked. Polychromy .poorly preserved, was done on a chalk and gypsum base in a distemper technique. It also scaled and powdered off. Following detailed studies a conservation programme was put forward and approved then by the Commission for Conservation. According to this programme, the following treatment was carried out: — technical conservation of the original substance of the object, i.e. the removal of all secondary make-ups and their replacement with new elements in a style close to the original one; — reconstruction of missing elements based on similar presentations in, i.a., one of the churches in Wrocław; — colour merger of new details; — assembling of reconstructed elements in a way which would allow for their removal, if found necessary; — chemical protection against insects and bacteria.

The article presents the life and work of Franciszek Wierusz-Kowalski, Wieruszowa coat of arms, who lived in the 17th and 18th centuries and came from Radomsko County in Sieradz Land. The study begins with a genealogical account of his ancestors, thanks to which one learns more about the family branch of Wierusz-Kowalskis, who have done great service to the Church and the Country. This tradition no doubt had an influence on the religious and patriotic attitude of the young nobleman, who through family connections became a member of Maria Kazimiera Sobieska’s court and ultimately her most trusted servant. This earned him a place very close to her son Jakub, and he even assumed the position of Great Chamberlain. His close links to the Sobieskis enabled him to make numerous trips abroad (to Italy, France, Bavaria) and establish relations with the royal courts of many European countries, including the pope. After joining the Order of Malta, he was a very active supporter of the Church in Malta, Silesia, Italy, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Jasna Góra Monastery benefited from his considerable contribution; he also supported the Pauline convent in Wielgomłyny and his home parish of Borzykowa.

Artykuł przedstawia życie i działalność Franciszka Wierusza-Kowalskiego herbu Wieruszowa, żyjącego na przełomie XVII i XVIII w. i pochodzącego z powiatu radomszczańskiego w ziemi sieradzkiej. Całość opracowania otwiera wywód genealogiczny jego przodków, dzięki czemu można poznać bliżej przedstawicieli gałęzi rodowej Wieruszów-Kowalskich, mających liczne zasługi dla Kościoła i ojczyzny. Tradycje te niewątpliwie miały wpływ na postawę religijną i patriotyczną młodego szlachcica, który prawdopodobnie w wyniku koneksji rodzinnych wszedł w skład świty dworskiej królowej Marii Kazimiery Sobieskiej, stając się jej niezwykle zaufanym sługą. To z kolei sprawiło, że znalazł się w najbliższym otoczeniu jej syna Jakuba, pełniąc nawet obowiązki marszałka dworu. Bliskie relacje z Sobieskimi umożliwiły mu odbycie licznych podróży zagranicznych (Włochy, Francja, Bawaria) i nawiązanie stosunków z dworami władców wielu państw europejskich, w tym także samego papieża. Po wstąpieniu do Zakonu Maltańskiego prowadził szeroką działalność prokościelną na Malcie, Śląsku, we Włoszech i w Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów. Szczególny wkład wniósł w rozwój klasztoru na Jasnej Górze, konwentu paulinów w Wielgomłynach i rodzimej parafii w Borzykowej.
