Abstract

The report presents the proceedings of the scientific conference held on June 12, 2026, at the Archcathedral Basilica in Częstochowa. The event was co-organized by the Holy Family Parish in Częstochowa and the Faculty of Theology of the University of Opole to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the death of Right Rev. Msgr. Bolesław Wróblewski (1867–1951). The conference aimed to provide a multi-perspective analysis of the biography of this prominent parish priest, socio-political activist, Member of the Legislative Sejm of the Second Polish Republic, and Righteous Among the Nations. The text reviews the presentations delivered by speakers representing the University of Opole, Jan Długosz University in Częstochowa, the Wieluń Scientific Society, and the Institute of Higher Theological Studies in Częstochowa. The papers examined Fr. Wróblewski's activities in the parishes of Praszka and Częstochowa, his patriotic and charitable involvement during the crises of World War I and World War II, and his stance toward both the German occupation and the communist regime. Furthermore, the report outlines the conclusions of the discussion regarding the state of research on the Jewish community in Częstochowa and quotes a fragment of an unknown document authored by Fr. Wróblewski, which originated from a time capsule at the church in Wolbórz.
