The gathering in Czestochowa was the first and extremely valuable initiative of school prefects in the period of the Kingdom of Poland. It gave the impulse to organise further meetings, thus contributing to the intensification of activities connected with religious education and formation at schools and to the unification of catechetical work in the Polish territories of the Russian partition. It showed responsibility for the matters of catechesis, e.g. by striving to develop a uniform curriculum for religious education and new textbooks, and improving religious instruction by implementing new methods.
