The text analyses the priestly activities of Karol Anton Medvecký in the first years of his pastoral ministry, from 1899 to 1902. During this period, he came into several conflicts with church authorities in Banská Bystrica’s diocese. The main cause of this conflicts were his activities in the Slovak national movement. At first he was in conflict with his pastor Štefan Pitrof, and subsequently he entered into an open dispute with the diocesan vicar Ján Havran. The first real visible punishment was Medvecký’s sudden transfer from Krupina to Jastrabie which happened after he bought a phonograph, a device for recording Slovak songs and melodies. The young priest was a pioneer in collecting folk songs, which he recorded and presented at ethnographic events. His activity was described as political and gained him many enemies in the Hungarian environment. For these reasons, his conflict with vicar Havran became a supra-regional affair, to which the Slovak, Hungarian and Czech journalistic discourse responded.

The parish house is usually seen as the dwelling of the Catholic priest. While the main facade of the parish house had to be clearly visible from the street, for the outbuildings standing away, functionality was of primary importance. The presence of members of the parish household could be similarly “hidden”. Their presence is not in the relevant sources, although they presence was essential. Except for the male servants, there was always represented a female element, namely in the person of the parish housekeeper. She cooked the priest’s food, took care of the laundry, and performed other activities that belonged to the tasks of a (not only) rural woman. If guests visited the parish, she took care of them as well. In addition to relatives or friends of the priest, there could be many exposed people, for example bishops with their entourages. This lesser-known profession had its peculiarities and pitfalls, yet there were many similarities with the position of a rural or town housekeeper.
