Half of them were of a noble background and received their ordinations mainly in Łowicz, as well as in Gniezno and Warsaw. The Bishops that carried out the ordinations were, first and foremost, the auxiliary Bishops of Archdiocese of Gniezno. The new clerics received their ordinations at the age of: under 25yrs (4), 25–30yrs (7). Priests in the area of this Deanery usually received their parson after a few or sometimes a dozen or so years of priesthood, having moved from other areas. It is not possible, according to the information passed on, barring a few exceptions, to establish where they have been working before. A similar situation was the case with the curates, who were given their positions shortly after their ordinations.
