Działalność jezuitów w Tarnopolu i Lwowie w latach 1852–1914
The activity of the Jesuits in Ternopil and Lviv in the years 1852–1914

Summary/Abstract: The ban on the activity of the Society of Jesus in the Russian Empire made some Jesuits come to Galicia. Ternopil became the first city in the archdiocese of Lviv in which the Jesuits founded a religious centre after the restoration of the Society and leaving the Russian Empire. In Ternopil, in accordance with Kaiser’s decree, they began to engage in educational activities from 1820. In 1836 Lviv became the second Jesuit centre in the archdiocese of Lviv. After the revolution of 1848, the Society of Jesus was banned, but in 1852 it resumed its activity in these two cities. The article presents the main features of the order in the archdiocese of Lviv, and the specificity of its pastoral work in the region. The paper focuses on Ternopil and Lviv, because they were the two cities of the archdiocese where the Society was most active in the years 1852–1914.
