History of the Parish of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Lublin. It’s Erection and Territory

Summary/Abstract: Capuchin friars arrived to Lublin in the 18th century. Due to their involvement in the patriotic insurrection that begun in January 1863 their friary fell victim to the great dissolution of monasteries in the Kingdom of Poland. The friary in Lublin was dissolved on the night 27/28th of November 1864. In 1930 the order received as a compensation for the lost garden adjacent to the friary some land in the village of Konstantynów near Lublin; a place commonly called “Poczekajka”. This was extended by some further land acquisitions. Brothers erected there a chapel that was dedicated on the 30th of May 1948 under the title of “Immaculate Heart of Mary” by the bishop of Lublin, Stefan Wyszyński. On the 28th of February 1950, his successor, bishop Piotr Kałwa, elevated the chapel to a parish church also dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, and entrusted the parish to the Order of Capuchin Friars Minor. This article presents the reasons for the erection of the parish of Immaculate Heart of Mary in Lublin and territories it initially covered. It attempts to demonstrate the history of these territories, because no thorough study of this matter has been published so far. The article discusses territorial developments of the parish, that is the construction of new housing estates on parish’s territory, appropriate deanery, erection of new pastoral centres and consequent changes in parish’s boundaries.
