Abstract

The Congregation of the Sisters Messengers of Mary of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was established on February 2, 1874 in Zakroczym. The first sisters were teachers: Józefa Chudzyńska, Bogusława Arndt and Antonina Szumska. J. Chudzyńska was appointed by Father Honorat Koźmiński as co-founder and as mother superior she led the Congregation until the end of 1910. The task of the Congregation was to teach children and girls, as well as their religious education. In 1879, in Paris, J. Chudzyńska met Baroness Cecylia Plater-Zyberk. They established permanent cooperation. Cecylia Plater-Zyberk obtained a diploma as a crafts teacher in Paris. After returning to Warsaw, she joined the Congregation, and in 1882 she built a school. In 1888, the Assembly, after obtaining the consent of the Russian authorities, opened the Institute of Industry and Crafts for poor girls, omitting the word "school", which was particularly annoying to the invader. The curriculum was copied from the Women's Workplace in Jacobstadt and covered the theory and practice of some professions as well as some general subjects. Secret education was also conducted there in secondary schools. The teaching staff consisted of missionary sisters and lay people. Mother J. Chudzyńska and sister C. Zyberk-Plater were responsible for the religious and social education of the youth. The facility underwent transformations and in 1908 formally became a secondary school. The students came from all three partitions. A few years after the establishment of the Institute of Industry and Crafts, J. Chudyńska and C. Zyberk-Plater bought the Chyliczki estate near Warsaw, where in 1890 they opened the Household Household Department. Subjects related to running a household were taught there. The Messenger Sisters conducted two seminars for teachers in Warsaw, at Mokotowska 43 and Hoża 9, as well as kindergartens and courses for childcare workers in Wilanów, Chyliczki and Węgrów in Podlasie.
