Summary/Abstract: The paper presents the pastoral activity of Jesuits in Nieśwież (Niasvizh) on the basis of manuscript sources preserved in the Roman Archive of the Society of Jesus. After considering the situation of the Jesuit fathers in this residential city of the Radziwiłł family, the author analyses some of the typical aspects of post-tridentine Catholicism, such as the cult of saints and relics and the activity of pious confraternities.
