- Abstract
The history of St. Vincent de Paul's Congregation of the Mission in the Republic of Poland is connected with Ludwika Maria Gonzaga, the wife of two kings from the Vasa dynasty, Władysław IV and Jan Kazimierz. At her request Vincent sent missionaries to Poland and this decision, as it will turn out in a while, for the next few years has resulted in strengthening the position of the missionaries among orders running missionary activities within the territory of the Republic of Poland. The arrival of the missionaries in Kraslava is connected with the history of the Plater family, who made the city their residence. The missionaries arrived in Kraslava in the 60s of the 18th century from two congregation centres: Vilnius (house in Góra Zbawiciela) and Warsaw (St. Cross). Mateusz Szatkowski led the Kraslava mission for the longest period. For fourteen years (1806-1820) he was responsible for the seminar, parish and mission activities of the Kraslava congregation.
