Kapelani oraz inni duchowni uczestnicy polskich powstań narodowych w strukturach lokalnego Kościoła we Francji w XIX wieku
Chaplains and other clergy participants of Polish uprisings in the structures of the local Church in France in the nineteenth century

Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author tried to present the figures of priests, participants of national uprisings on the Polish lands in the nineteenth century, who took up pastoral work in French parishes or joined religious orders and other religious institutions in France. The majority of Polish clergymen came to France after the November Uprising, the Spring of Nations and the January Uprising. During my research I found almost 100 Polish priests who had joined the Catholic Church in France. The Polish Mission in Paris, which was founded in the nineteenth century by the Resurrectionists, was not the subject of my research. It was not considered to be a parish and was not part of the structure of the local church in France. Most of the Polish priests carried out their pastoral work in parishes of Paris or those surrounding the capital, such as: Notre-Dame-de-Victoires, Saint-Philippe-du-Roule, La Madeleine, Notre-Dame-des-Blancs Manteaux, Saint-Augustin, Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette, Saint-Denys du Saint-Sacrement, Saint-Louis--d’Antin, Saint-Germain-l’Auxerrois, Saint-Paul et Saint-Louis, Saint-Joseph, Saint-Martin and in Batignolles (Notre-Dame des Batignolles), Belleville, Clamart, Gentilly, Saint-Denis, Saint-Ouen, Saint-Cloud. Poles could also be found among the chaplains on Parisian cemeteries: Montmartre, Père-Lachaise, d’Ivry, de Pantin, du Nord and others. Émigré priests worked outside Paris as well, in parishes of Amiens, Anvers, Avignon, Aurillac, Le Mans, Lourdes, Marseille, and Strasbourg.
