Summary/Abstract: The Polish Theological Society is one of the oldest scientific societies operating in Poland. It was established by professors of the Faculty of Theology of the Jan Kazimierz University in Lviv on February 23, 1924. The patron of the Society is the saint and professor, Jan Kanty. The first president was Fr. Prof. Kazimierz Wais (1865–1934) who was a prominent representative of the Lviv University community. The first general secretary of the Society was Fr.
