100 lat historii parafii św. Wojciecha w Elblągu
The 100 years history of St. Adalbertus Parish in Elblag

Summary/Abstract: Several generations of inhabitants of Elbląg have been brought up in the Parish of St. Wojciech. These inhabitants have been living here within two different political and national structures. Inhabitants speaking German used to form that community for the first 40 years. However, since year 1945 this land has become “New Homeland” for settlers from different parts of pre-war Poland (II Rzeczypospolita). And after 1989, with transformation by “Round Table”, the image of our community changed a bit. Studying the history of this Parish we can see that during past 100 years our Church has integrated with the history of our Region very much. The first priests in Elbląg were dedicated to working class. And such peculiarity of this Parish is also present nowadays. The Parish of St. Wojciech in Elbląg used to be a part of the Diocese of Warmia until 1992. In fact, our Church has concentrated not only on religious life but social one as well. This Parish has delivered favorable conditions for developing the cultural, social or public life.
