Nauka religii w Szkole Podstawowej w Trębaczewie (1918-2018)

Abstract

After regaining independence in 1918 Poland began developing in many areas, including the feld of education. Then a school was organized in Trębaczew in which Religious Education was one of the obligatory subjects. Despite the lack of priests in the diocese of Częstochowa caused by the previous policy of the invaders, catechizing of children and young people was implemented with the help of secular people in the parish of Działoszyn. This development was stopped by the Second World War, which interrupted the activities of both schools and parishes. The priests from ziemia wieluńska were arrested and taken to Dachau concentration camp. Trębaczew and Działoszyn were almost completely burned and the church was destroyed. Teachers couldn’t teach. During this time, the part of believers attended nearby parishes, including Wąsosz, where children could take the Holy Communion, after the proper preparation. After the war, the teaching of religion got back to schools, but the communist system started fghting the Church which resulted in the removal of religious education from schools. Then Fr. Stanisław Piwowarski organized, like many other priests, the teaching of religion at the parish, in the presbytery. Soon catechetical point was opened in Niwiska Górne and then in Sadowiec. Religious education was done by the parish priests and subsequent vicars. Such a situation lasted until the political transformation in 1989. Then the catechization in Trębaczew moved back to the local school again. However, the preparation of children and young people for confession, the First Holy Communion etc. has continually been in process for 100 years of education in Trębaczew.
