Działalność oświatowo-wychowawcza Akcji Katolickiej w międzywojennej diecezji łomżyńskiej

Abstract

The education-formative activity of the Catholic Action in the diocese of Łomża was characterised by a great dynamism. It focused mainly on conferences, meetings, assemblies, courses, manifestation, legal counsels, lectures, talks, concerts, performances, academies, soirées, games, libraries, summer camp groups, sightseeing the country and its monuments, museums, exhibitions, physical exercise courses and camps, military courses, musical, vocal, theatrical, and reading clubs etc. Therefore one may say that this activity, leaving temples and vestries, dealt with the whole of private life, socio-political, and cultural life. It seems that these designed and initiated forms to popularise the Catholic social knowledge, especially together with systematic work within the associations, could bring about some expected results. Unfortunately, they were destroyed by the Second World War.
