The military conflict which broke out in August 1914, later named the Great War, extended into the entire territory of the Kingdom of Poland. Armed hostilities conducted by allied German and Austro-Hungarian armies against Russian forces ruined a lot of households depriving their owners of livelihood. A tragic situation of the Kingdom of Poland’s residents posed a risk of humanitarian disaster. The first organization providing help and support to civil victims of the war in the Polish territory was the Civic Committee. However, its works were interrupted in September 1915, soon after Warsaw was seized by German forces. Those who had been earlier involved in charity work knew that new authorities would probably allow to continue charity activity because a lack of interest in this issue could eventually harm the implementation of occupational policy. These expectations proved accurate. German administration gave consent for the establishment of a new social organization, i.e. Central Welfare Council [Rada Główna Opiekuńcza] (RGO). Polish environments carried out negotiations thereon with occupational authorities from October 1915 to spring 1916. Their purpose was to establish powers that the newly created institution should be vested in. The aspirations of individuals who were to work in RGO in the future sometimes exceeded the expectations of the Germans by and large. Occupational authorities did not agree, among others, for the pursuit of activity in the field of education, medical care or collection of data concerning substantive losses in the effect of warfare. Nevertheless, the attitude of German authorities was gradually becoming less consistent as they needed to win favour of the Polish society. In practice, RGO was involved not only in strictly charitable initiatives (financial support of social care centres, food distribution, organization of fund- raising, etc.) but also in educational activity, loss estimation and organization of medical facilities.

The parish in Bargłów Kościelny, located within the borders of the then Augustowskie Province, constituted one of thousands of examples of parishes functioning on the territory of the Kingdom of Poland. In the examined period, it experienced a gradual economic development, which was reflected by the construction of economic facilities within the course of several years. The greater wealth of the parish was indirectly connected with the improving eco-nomic situation of the Polish land, which was recovering from the unfavourable Duchy of Warsaw period. The establishment of the economic background of the parish in Bargłów was strongly influenced by the parish priests, who were efficient administrators. In addition, the church in Bargłów owned large estate, which also exercised a considerable impact on its profitability. However, the development was impeded, to some extent, by the poor economic situation of the villages belonging to the parish, as they were not able to pay their tax dues to the church in full.
