Z dziejów klasztoru Kapucynów w Lubartowie w latach 1864–1867

Abstract

During the dissolution of monasteries in the Kingdom of Poland, conducted in 1864, the monastery of the Capuchins in Lubartów was considered as an unestablished monastery. It could exist to the death of the last monk but without the right of accepting novices. A call to choose new superordinates was one of the first decisions of the tsarist authorities after the dissolution. In Lubartów, the father Faustyn Jarzębiński became a superordinate at that time. On demand of the stateauthorities, shortages in other monasteries of Capuchins – which were not dissolved, especially inNowe Miasto on the Pilica River – were quickly completed from the staff members of the monasteryin Lubartów. Consequently, already in 1867, the tsarist authorities stated that a number ofmonks living in the monastery of Lubartów is too small, so it should be dissolved, which took placeon 25 February 1867. One of the monks was to stay in place to conduct services, but the fatherWładysław Wolski, assigned to this function, had health problems and he could meet these duties.Due to the lack of choice, the tsarist authorities agreed that this function would be performed bythe forging superordinate, father Faustyn Jarzębiński, although it was against the state regulations.Jarzębiński died in Lubartów on 14 May 1885.
