Summary/Abstract: Hundred years passed in 2002 since Missionaries of the Saint Mary of La Salette arrived to Poland. During this time the Saletinians undertook in Poland many various priestly and formation acts resulting from their cha- risma, among others they kept a noviciate, in which they prepared candi- dates for monastic life for a year. The Saletinian noviciate was active in four localities: in Dębowiec near Jasło(1916-1917, 1924-1929, 1950-2003), in Hurko near Przemyśl (1929-1939), in Rzeszów (1947-1951) and Cracow (1969-1970, 1991-1992). Eighteen Saletinians fulfilled the function of the noviciate master, priest August Gauthier for the longest time. Master was usually assisted in the formation work by a noviciate sociate. Over five hun- dred and eighty candidates for monastic life passed through the Saletinian noviciate, out of which near four hundred and ninety became the professed monks for the first time.
