Summary/Abstract: After the restoration of independence of Lithuania, not only State institutions were formed, but also self-government was organized. One of the active characters of self-government in Marijampole in 1920–1921 was the priest Vincentas Borisevicius. In this period, he was the chaplain of Marijampole Gymnasium and a member of the City Council representing the Christian Democratic Party. It was not easy for him to work both in the gymnasium, where anti-church sentiment prevailed, and in the municipality, when the state was just being formed and the society was going through many problems. However, Vincentas Borisevicius proved himself to be a great and bright personality in this period.
