    Abstract

    In November 1918, our country regained independence after 123 years of partitions. A new state came into existence of three different statehoods (Prussia, Austria, Russia). Therefore, the process of creating the Polish statehood came across incredibly great problems. Everything was missing: political, economic, legal structures, uniform system of education. The already difficult situation was further complicated by a worldwide economic crisis. The Salesian Society, which began its activity in Poland in 1898 in Oświęcim, was actively involved in the process of creating new school and educational structures. Taking advantage of the great favour of the authorities at various levels, as well as the openness of Polish society, the Salesians opened general schools, vocational schools, boarding schools and orphanages. One of the forms of Salesian work was also an oratory. It was the primary method of working with the youth of the Salesian Founder, Fr. John Bosco. Continuing his charism in Poland, the Salesians, as far as possible, conducted oratorical work at the educational institutions and parishes.
