THE WŁOCŁAWEK PERIOD OF FR. STEFAN WYSZYŃSKI’S PASTORAL MINISTRY: YOUTH AND THE SEMINARY FORMATION FOR THE PRIESTHOOD (PART 1)

Summary/Abstract: The article’s subject examines the youth period and the process of Stefan Wyszyński’s seminary formation. The above paper’s primary research goal is to display Wyszyński’s early life in the context of Poland’s socio-political status quo at that time. Therefore, the source materials’ interpretation focuses on exposing the role and significance of this time for the entire future ministry of Fr. Stefan Wyszyński, so important both for the Church and the Polish nation. The exploration of the above research is based on the analysis of source texts using the historical method in order to reconstruct historical facts and their reinterpretation by the inductive-deductive method. According to the author of this study, the upbringing in the family home, the period of youth, as well as the seminary formation were a kind of testing ground, where Stefan Wyszyński could gain the pastoral experience necessary for his future activity as a priest, ordinary of the Lublin diocese, and, later, the Archdiocese of Gniezno and Warszawa and the Primate of Poland.
