Then Rev. Bolt worked as a curate and finally as a parish priest in Srebrniki since 1929. As a true shepherd of his flock he successfully combined the pastoral work with his social activity. He founded various religious associations as well as commercial enterprises for which Feliks Bolt was named the father of the Polish entrepreneurship in Pomerania. As an active member of the Agricultural Society of Western Prussia he fostered the creation of numerous farmers’ unions. Rev. Bolt belonged to the Polish national movement in Pomerania and was elected as an MP and a senator. At the beginning of the Second World War he was arrested by the Gestapo and imprisoned in Debowa Laka, Chelmno and Stutthof.
