Prymas Stefan Wyszyński jako ordynariusz wiernych obrządku ormiańskiego. Szkic do dziejów religijnych diaspory Ormian polskich w latach 1957-1981
Primate Stefan Wyszyński as the Ordinary of Believers of the Armenian Rite. A Sketch of the Religious History of the Armenian Diaspora in Poland in 1957-1981

Summary/Abstract: After the end of the Second World War, Catholics of the Armenian rite had to leave their homes in the territory of the south-eastern Borderlands and settle within the new borders of Poland. Under special authorisation granted by the Holy See, the Primate of Poland, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, became their ordinary in 1957. At the end of the 1950s, two main religious centres of this rite were formed. The first of them was centred on the church of the Holy Trinity in Gliwice, which became the sanctuary of Our Lady of Łysiec. Until 1964, the Rector of this church was Fr Kazimierz Roszko, and when he moved abroad, Fr Kazimierz Romaszkan. The second centre of the Armenian rite was the church of Saints Peter and Paul in Gdańsk, where a miraculous image of Our Lady of Grace from Stanislavov had been worshipped since 1959. In Gdańsk, the chaplain of the Polish Armenians was Fr Kazimierz Filipiak. The most important pastoral problems were the lack of churches of their own and a decreasing number of priests.
