The Salesian priests, who arrived in Przemyśl in 1907 led by their first superior, Reverend August Hlond, started their ministry in the Zasanie district running an oratory for working-class youths and performing pastoral duties in their chapel. In the years 1910-11 they built a modern house for children and the oratory youth and in 1912 they started to build a church. The outbreak of the First World War stopped further construction work. When the siege of Przemyśl started, the educational activity broke off and the house was turned into a hospital. Thanks to the effort of the then head of the Salesian institution Rev. Walery Kozak in the middle of November 1915 the house was dedicated to the needs of war orphans, for whom the Salesians ran a boarding house and a trade school with shoemaker and tailor workshops. In 1916, thanks to the Przemyśl ordinary, Bishop Józef Sebastian Pelczar, the Salesian priests in Przemyśl started to organize and run an organist school for students from all over Poland.

The paper deals with the letter of a Salesian priest, Rev. Walenty Kozak, the superior of the Salesian centre in the Przemyśl district of Zasanie, written on 1 July 1915. The author describes the history of the community and its work during the second siege of the Przemyśl Fortress. Between October 1914 and March 1915 the building was converted into a field hospital. As both Austro-Hungarian and Russian soldiers were quartered there, it was largely destroyed. The letter also presents the situation in the town during the siege and after the Russian troops had entered, the functioning of the schools, the change of the symbols on institutions, the influx of Russian people, the arrests of Jews, some clergymen and suspected persons. The author of the letter was himself arrested together with a fellow priest. The second part of the letter is a detailed account of dramatic events from his arrest on a charge of espionage and being kept in the garrison prison in Przemyśl, Lviv, and in Przemyśl again, until his release with a ban to stay in town and an order to go to Lviv. The letter ends with the author’s return to Przemyśl on 25 June 1915.

The Salesian educational institution in Przemyśl began in July 1907. The initiative came from Bishop Józef Pelczar, a great social worker and ordinary of the diocese, while Rev. August Hlond SDB was the one who organized the new Salesian house. This paper deals with the financial aid in the initial phase of the foundation of the Salesian institution that came from Teofil Kostiuk from Sokołów Małopolski.
