Summary/Abstract: After the completion of the Second World War around 45 000 Latvian inhabitants, mainly rich farmers, including many Catholics were exiled to Siberia on 25th March 1949. There were no Catholic congregations or possibilities of a sacramental life during detention in Siberia, and it was upon each believer and his family to keep to their spiritual life. Moreover, it should be kept in mind that family life was destroyed in detention.
