Summary/Abstract: In the Old Polish period, several religious fraternities were formed in the Roman-Catholic parish in Szadek. The parishioners who were interested in active participation in various forms of religious cult set up fraternities, which was an expression of the need for integration within the local community. Religious fraternities received funds from donors to finance their activities. In the 1850s, the Fraternity of the Rosary received legacies in the last wills of the donors to say Masses for the peace of their souls. The legacies were recorded in the form of notarial acts by Szadek registrars. These documents are yet another source of knowledge about the history of Church in Szadek.
