A Bernardine Friary in Piotrków was founded by Florian Starczewski in 1625. It belonged to Kujawy-Kalisz Diocese till 1818 and since 1920 it has belonged to Łódź Diocese. Till 1628 it was in the Wielkopolska Bernardine Province and since 1920 in the Polish Province. In 1864 tsar’s authorities closed down the friary because of the friars’ involvement in the so called “January Uprising”. They were taken to the appointed Bernardine Friary in Warta. Quite a few of them decided to secularize. With the closing of the Friary philosophical studies closed down in Piotrków Trybunalski. Only a few Bernardine students managed to finish theological studies and be ordained. After the Friary closing down its buildings as well as the church fell into ruin. In 1922 Kujawy-Kalisz bishop Stanisław Zdzitowiecki allowed Bernardine Friars to reclaim Piotrków Friary and the church.
