In the Archdiocesan Archive in Poznań, among the KA 10 969 records, an interesting document has been preserved. In October 1828 the Gniezno and Poznań metropolitan archbishop Teofil Wolicki received a lengthy letter from Fr. Jan Kompałła. The parish priest from Bukowice was requesting from the archbishop an intercession with the Prussian authorities in order for the property of dissolved monasteries to be bequeathed to the Catholic Church. In five well-grounded points, he presented reasons for which this property was not supposed to be handed over to the Protestants, as well as demonstrated how to utlise it practically. He suggested –among other things– that monastery buildings serve as lodgings for retired priests or impoverished families, and as institutes devoted to upbringing and education of children bourn out of wedlock. He intended the former Franciscan monastery in Grabów to be converted into a gymnasium for the Catholic youth. Education was meant to protect them from the partitioner’s endeavours to deprive them of the national identity. He was also asking the archbishop to elicit from the lay authorities the consent to move part of the equipment –even of the active monasteries– to poorer parish churches. He argued that these temples had been neglected for centuries, since the nobility had always been donating their lavish gifts exclusively to religious orders. Fr. Kompałła’s letter resulted in the Poznań Administrative Office’s directive no. 348 of 19 December 1828 and the Poznań Archiepiscopal Consistory’s directive no. 119 of 14 January 1829 sent to 22 deans in the territory of the Poznań diocese. They were instructed to gather information on what sort of equipment would be useful for the poor parish churches within the deaneries they were in charge of. Few were the parish priests who admitted that their temples did not need anything. The rest submitted lists –of various length– of the desired equipment. A tabular listing of the objects was sent to the Poznań Administrative Office by the consistory. These lists (collected in an thick cardboard-bound archival unit –poszyt– KA 12 236) were undoubtedly used afterwards to distribute the equipment of the dissolved monasteries.

In autumn 1828 the dean of Ostrzeszów, Fr. Jak Kompałła, wrote a memorial to Archbishop Teofil Wolicki, newly appointed metropolitan of Archdioceses of Gniezno and Poznań joined by a personal union (Archdiocesan Archives in Poznań, no. KA 10 969, Records of the General Consistory of the Archbishopric of Poznań concerning the former Bernardine Church in Ostrzeszów 1823–1853). Fr. Kompałła suggested that furnishings from the dissolved and still existing monasteries be given to poor parish churches. Archbishop Wolicki intervened with the authorities in Berlin, which led to a proclamation of the Royal District (Regierungsbezirk) II in Poznań no. 348 of 19 December 1828 demanding that the “administrators of churches investigate the needs of poor Catholic parishes with regard to organs, bells, chasubles and other church furnishings”. On 14 January 1829 the General Consistory of the Archbishopric of Poznań sent a letter to all deans of the 23 deaneries with the above request. By April 1829 replies came from 262 (80.36%) out of the total number of 326 parishes in the Archdiocese of Poznań. No fewer than parishes (225, 69.01%) asked for furnishings, with only 37 parishes (11.35%) not wanting any and 64 (19.63%) parishes not replying to the question. It could, therefore, be said that 101, i.e. 30.98%, parishes did not want any furnishings. The above documents are to be found in the Archdiocesan Archives in Poznań in the bound volume no. KA 12 236. An edition of this source is under preparation. It will also feature data from a personal questionnaire sent in June 1829 on the initiative of Archbishop Wolicki to parishes and monasteries from both Archdioceses: of Poznań and Gniezno.
