Summary/Abstract: Since over 2 centuries Poland deals with the emigration problems. First, it was caused by the partitions of Poland, the national insurrections having as goal the recuperation of Poland’s independence, but mostly unsuccessful, which have caused emigration of many Poles escaping from repressions. The author wants to present the presence of Polish priest within the world Polonia centres. The article is also presenting the worship, pastoral care, and the existence of schools connected with the church, the promotion of Polish culture, further the need of special preparation for the mission of those priests they have to fulfil in a concrete milieu and situation. Those undertakings can not be solved by unprofessional means, because it will rather cause mistakes and bad results.
