This article presents actual missionary involvement of the diocese of Tarnów in the context of the 225th anniversary of its existence. For 38 years, Catholic missionaries from the diocese of Tarnow have been traveling the globe educating other cultures about the Christian faith as well as organising everything needed for the improvement of people’s spiritual and physical lives. So, missionary activities have two dimensions – spiritual and material. The bishop’s role, as the ruler and centre of unity in the diocesan apostolate, is to promote missionary activity, to direct it and to coordinate it, but always in such a way that the zeal and spontaneity of those who share in the work may be preserved and fostered. The missionary activities in the diocese of Tarnow have been strongly supported by the bishops: Jerzy Ablewicz, Józef Życiński and Wiktor Skworc, who have sent 118 priests to the three continents. The Tarnow missionary work is a great contribution to the evangelization of the countries in Africa, South America and, more recently, in Asia (mostly Kazakhstan). This commitment has been marked by the seal of martyrdom by one of the priest – Fr. Jan Czuba who was murdered in the Republic of Congo in 1998. Currently, the Diocesan Missionary Agency has sent 46 priests as missionaries: 14 to Africa, 27 to Latin America and 5 to Kazakhstan. Apostolic activity is organized not only by priests, but also by lay missionaries: one in Cameroon, two in the Central African Republic and additionally two volunteers.

An ecclesiastical council typically involves a profound examination of issues of doctrine and practices which the Church should incorporate in its mission. At the regional and local level, plenary, metropolitan and diocesan synods play an analogous role to the one fulfilled by ecumenical councils. Diocesan synods deserve particular attention because their origin lies in the needs of local particular Churches. By offering disciplinary, pastoral and spiritual guidance, they build a concrete ecclesial reality, reaching the basic church and social communities. Each synod has its own special place in the history of a diocese, and its positive impact is not restricted merely to the formulated proposals. In 1938 it was ten years since the First Synod and the diocesan bishop was obliged by the Code of Canon Law (1917) to convene the Second Synod of the Diocese of Tarnów. This was not the only motive because in 1936 the First Plenary Synod of Poland took place. The event made it necessary to adapt the diocesan legislation to the resolutions of that Synod. The subject of the article was formulated as follows: The Forgotten Synod of 1938. The Course and Statues of the Second Synod of the Diocese of Tarnów. Why forgotten? To date there have been four synods in the diocese. All studies concerning the synodal legislation of the Diocese of Tarnów have relied solely on three synods. Upon an examination of the Second Synod, we come across a curt phrase saying that “the statutes of this Synod have gone missing.” No research has been done to reconstruct the statues of the Synod. The presented study is an attempt to familiarise the Reader with the motives, course and chief topics addressed by the Second Synod of the Diocese of Tarnów.

Artykuł poświęcony jest udziałowi księży rzymskokatolickich oraz służby kościelnej w prowadzeniu nauczania w szkołach ludowych Galicji. Zakres chronologiczny wyznaczają dwie daty (1774 r. i 1873 r.), związane z ogłoszeniem przez władze państwowe Austrii ustaw szkolnych. Bazę źródłową stanowią źródła archiwalne i drukowane oraz literatura naukowa. W artykule dowodzę, że duchowieństwo, szczególnie parafialne, bardzo aktywnie włączyło się do działań organizacyjnych na rzecz tworzenia w parafiach szkół ludowych (elementarnych). Otwierano wówczas trzy typy szkół: parafialne, trywialne i gminne. Księża, a także pracownicy kościelni (zwłaszcza organiści) mieli ponadto bardzo duży udział w realizacji procesu dydaktycznego w szkołach parafialnych oraz trywialnych. Natomiast w znacznie mniejszym stopniu angażowani byli do prowadzenia nauczania w szkołach gminnych. Artykuł powinien przyczynić się do lepszego poznania dziejów oświaty w Galicji, zwłaszcza w kontekście działalności kadry nauczycielskiej szkół ludowych.

The paper is devoted to the participation of Roman-catholic priests and church servants in teaching in village schools of Galicia. The chronological frames are 1774 and 1873 when state authorities enforced school laws. Archival and printed sources as well as academic literature are the basis of research. In the paper I advance the point that clergy (especially parish clergy) was very eagerly joining the efforts to organize village (primary) schools at parishes. Three types of schools were opened: parish schools, trivial schools and municipality schools. Priests and church employees (in particular organ players) contributed massively to the teaching endeavors in parish and trivial schools. However, they worked in municipality schools much more rarely. The paper should contribute to a better understanding of history of education in Galicia, especially in the context of teaching staff’s activity in village schools.

During the two centuries of its existence, the Seminary in Tarnów boasted many great rectors, including Fr. Roman Sitko, who was elevated to the glory of the altars. The blessed person of the rector still inspires not only priests and graduates of the Major Seminary in Tarnów or the Major Seminary in Rzeszów, but also lay people. His dedication to the question of vocations and the good formation of the new priests deserves to be taken into account. This article presents a fragment of the history of the seminary in Tarnów, during which the rector's office was held by Fr. R. Sitko – the composition of the educational and professorial staff, the number of alumni and newly ordained priests. The paternal relationship between him as the rector and the seminarians is shown, which facilitated an atmosphere of good formation. The quoted fragments of testimonies of seminarians of the time are valuable here. It also shows the situation of the seminary during the difficult time of the outbreak of World War II and the occupation of the building by the Wehrmacht. However, this did not prevent the continuation of the formation of seminarians. Rector Sitko organized a center in Błonie near Tarnów, where the process of clerical preparation for priestly ordination continued. He was soon arrested and imprisoned for that. After a year of arrest, he ended up in Auschwitz, where he confirmed his absolute devotion to the case of the Seminary and seminarians with a martyr's death.

Seminarium Duchowne w Tarnowie w ciągu dwóch wieków istnienia szczyciło się wieloma i wielkimi postaciami rektorów, a jeden z nich, ks. Roman Sitko, został wyniesiony do chwały ołtarzy. Osoba błogosławionego Rektora wciąż inspiruje, nie tylko kapłanów i alumnów WSD w Tarnowie czy WSD w Rzeszowie, ale także osoby świeckie. Jego całkowite oddanie sprawie powołań i dobrej formacji nowych kapłanów zasługuje na opracowanie. W artykule tym został ukazany fragment historii tarnowskiego seminarium, kiedy urząd rektorski sprawował ks. Sitko – skład kadry wychowawczej i profesorskiej, liczby alumnów i nowo wyświęconych kapłanów. Nie pominięto też wręcz ojcowskich relacji pomiędzy rektorem i alumnami, co sprzyjało dobrej atmosferze formacji. Cenne są tu przywoływane fragmenty świadectw ówczesnych kleryków. Zaprezentowano także sytuację seminarium w trudnym czasie II wojny światowej, kiedy jego budynek został zajęty przez Wehrmacht. Nie przeszkodziło to jednak w kontynuowaniu formacji kleryków. Rektor Sitko zorganizował ośrodek w Błoniu koło Tarnowa, gdzie podjął się przygotowania kleryków do święceń kapłańskich. Ostatecznie został za to aresztowany i osadzony w więzieniu. Po roku aresztu trafił do obozu Auschwitz, gdzie ukoronował całkowite oddanie sprawie tarnowskiego seminarium i kleryków męczeńską śmiercią.
