Summary/Abstract: The Salesian Society undertook educational activity on Polish land in 1898, which was still during the time of the partitions. The first institution was in Oświęcim situated in the territory annexed by Austria. After Poland regained independence in 1918, Salesians joined actively in the reconstruction of the destroyed country. Their efforts above all focused on the area of school and educational work. During the years 1918-1939, outside of typical institutions such as schools, they also conducted activity in other areas of youth work. This article presents a number of educational institutions run by the Salesian Society in the interwar period.
