Description
Summary:The main aim of this article is to present one of the dimensions of the activity of Józef Sebastian Pelczar, former rector of the Jagiellonian University, which attempted to establish a new apostolic and pro-social female religious congregation on Polish soil. This text is based on documents deposited in the Main Archives of the Congregation of the Servants of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, located at the Krak ów General House. Archival sources deposited at the Vatican’s Dicastery for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life, as well as at the Archives of the Metropolitan Curia in Krak ów, have also been used. In all these institutions, one can find documentation related to the procedure of establishment, approval, and activities of the congregation. The temporal scope of the article covers the period from the founding of the religious community, from 15 April 1894 to the death of its founder on 28 March 1924. The text closes with a short description of the activities of the new congregation in the first period of its history, and its territorial development has been visualised with a map.
