The year 1899 saw the establishment, in the Austrian partition zone, of the Association of Teaching Priests—the first Polish professional organisation bringing together Catholic clergy involved in the religious education and upbringing of children and young people. It operated under a statute approved in its founding year, which defined its internal structure, basic tasks and methods of operation. After ten years of its being in force the members of the Association reviewed, amended and supplemented it, creating a new version of the statute in 1909, eliminating the shortcomings of the original version and adapting it to the realities of the organisation after a decade of its activity. The main motive for the changes was the idea of decentralisation, which in practice meant increasing the autonomy of the local branches (local circles) that together formed the Association of Teaching Priests in Galicia.
