    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2011) Walicki, Bartosz
    In the two first decades of the 20th century, 5 regular catechists worked in the St John Baptism Parish of Sokołów Małopolski: the Rev. Wojciech Karaś (1900-1902), the Rev. Józef Szpila (1903--1904), the Rev. Leopold Augustyn (1904-1907), the Rev. Michał Klajewicz (1909-1911) and the Rev. Stanisław Woźny (1912-1920). Those priests mainly taught religion in the five-grade coeducational school in Sokołów Małopolski, the school which was divided into a female and male one in 1913. Apart from this, they helped parish priests with pastoral work. At that time the parish priests were the Rev. Franciszek Stankiewicz (1898-1916), the Rev. Wojciech Blajer (1916) and the Rev. Leon Szado (1916-1934). The article presents biographical entries of the above-mentioned catechists. Two of them, the Rev. Michał Klajewicz and the Rev. Stanisław Woźny died in this parish and were buried in the cemetery of Sokołów. The Rev Leopold Augustyn and the Rev. Stanisław Woźny are especially remembered due to their work for this parish.

    Ks. Franciszek Pietrzkiewicz (1858-1929)
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2017) Walicki, Bartosz; Zych, Sławomir
    Rev. Franciszek Pietrzkiewicz was born on 5 September 1858 in Zarszyn, in the Sanok district, where he graduated from a folk school. Then he attended gymnasium in Jasło, with a three-year break for military service. In 1884 he entered the Theological Seminary in Przemyśl. On 22 July 1888, he was ordained a priest and became an assistant curate in Miżyniec in the deanery of Mościce (the Przemyśl district). After two years, on 21 September 1890, he was entrusted with the duties of a vicarius dirigens. In 1892 he passed a competitive exam for a parish priest, and from 20 October 1894 onwards, he ran the parish in Miżyniec as an administrator and later as a parish priest. For a short time, Rev. Pietrzkiewicz also managed the parish in Czyszki. The outbreak of World War I brought an end to his pastoral work in Miżyniec. Due to the danger from the Ukrainians, he moved to the parish of Zgłobień in the deanery of Rzeszów. In the spring of 1919, he became a successor of the late parish priest Rev. Mikołaj Dzierżyński. In spite of difficult financial conditions, he managed to complete numerous investment projects in Zgłobień related to the equipment and decoration of the church, the construction of the church tower and the cemetery fence, a presbytery and outbuildings. At the same time, Rev. Pietrzkiewicz was concerned about the living conditions and morality of the parish inhabitants. He also took care of his own priestly formation and supported numerous pious works. In addition, this priest was active in the social sphere. He was, among others, the head of the board in Kasa Stefczyka (a savings and loan association) in Zgłobień, chaired the Farmers’ Association, supported founding the Voluntary Fire Brigade. His efforts were appreciated by church authorities which awarded him expositorium canonicale. He was also an associate dean of Mościce and a school supervisor. Rev. Franciszek Pietrzkiewicz died on 2 January 1929 at the age of 70, 40 years after his ordination.

    Początki parafii pw. Matki Bożej Królowej Polski w Wólce Niedźwiedzkiej
    (Wydawnictwo KUL, 2013) Walicki, Bartosz
    Diocese of Przemysl, and now the Diocese of Rzeszów. For centuries, this village was part of the parish of Sokołów. The decision to create a branch in Wólka was made at the Synod in Chyrów in 1914. During World War I, Rev. Ignacy Kania settled in Wólka Niedźwiedzka as a deficjent. The first step on the road to erect the branch, and consequently the parish, was the creation of a separate vicariate in Sokołów ad personam. Bishop’s Ordinariate of Przemyśl appointed Rev. Ignacy Kania for this vicariate. In 1920 Wólka Niedźwiedzka was transformed into an independent branch and in 1927 into a parish with Ludwik Grabowski as its administrator. The branch, and later parish in Wolka Niedźwiedzka was situated at the junction of two poviats, Łańcut and Kolbuszowa. It also included Wólka Sokołowska, Dołęga and Budy Łańcuckie. Initially, the branch was part of the Deanery of Leżajsk, and from 1921 the newly created Deanery of Sokołów. The successive parish priests were Rev. Ignacy Kania, Rev. Antoni Kuziara and Rev. Stanislaw Fróg. The parish church was made of wood. It was transported from Wola Zarczycka in 1912. In 1913 the church was re-consecrated and dedicated to Our Lady Queen of the Polish Crown.
