Kapelani oraz inni duchowni uczestnicy polskich powstań narodowych w strukturach lokalnego Kościoła we Francji w XIX wieku

Abstract

In this article, the author tried to present priests, the participants of national uprisings on the Polish lands in the nineteenth century, who took pastoral work in French parishes or joined the religious orders and other religious institutions in France. The majority of Polish clergymen came to France after the November Uprising, the Spring of Nations and the January Uprising. During my research I have found almost 100 Polish priests who had joined the Catholic Church in France. The Polish Mission in Paris, which was founded in nineteenth century by the Ressurectionists, was not the subject of my research. It was not considered to be a parish and was not the part of the structure of local church in France. Most of the Polishpriests carriedout their pastoral work in parishesof Paris or those surroundedthe capital such as : Notre-Dame-de-Victoires, Saint-Philippe-du-Roule, La Madeleine, Notre-Dame-des-Blancs Manteaux; Saint-Augustin; Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, Saint-Denys du Saint-Sacrement, Saint-Louis-d’Antin, Saint-Germain-l´Auxerrois, Saint-Paul et Saint-Louis, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Martin and in Batignolles (Notre-Dame des Batignolles), Belleville, Clamart, Gentilly, Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen, Saint-Cloud. Poles could also be found among the chaplains on Parisian cemeteries:Montmartre, Pere-Lachaise, d`Ivry, de Pantin, du Nord and others. Priests-emigrants worked outside Paris as well, in parishes of Amiens, Anvers, Avignon, Aurillac, Le Mans, Lourdes, Marseille, Strasbourg.
