Abstract

The article presents a report by Fr. Klemens Średziński (1902–1973), a priest of the Archdiocese of Gniezno and a long-standing professor of the State Classical Middle School in Bydgoszcz. During and after the Nazi occupation of Poland, he was a soldier of the Home Army (AK), a “Freedom and Independence” fighter and a prisoner of the Stalinist period. The account describes his pastoral work with Polish emigrants to Romania, which took place during the summer holiday of 1936. The report was submitted to the Head Office of the Polish Primate, Cardinal August Hlond, who paid much attention to the pastoral care of Polish people abroad. The report contains Fr. Średziński’s detailed description of his ministry and attempts to assess the spiritual and patriotic condition of his compatriots in the Bukovina region.
