Abstract

Does the Silesian model of a priest exist? If so, what, and to what extent, affects its specificity: family environment, school, presbytery, parish, seminary? The author of the article by answering these questions draws attention to the historical factors preceding the establishment of the diocese of Katowice: religious, church, social and political ones which contributed to the specificity of a Silesian priest: rural and urban parish priest, churches builder, community worker, political and cultural activist, education officer.
