The Land of the Catholic Mission in Tomsk Granted to Observant Fathers by the Provincial Authorities in 1821. Prepared by Eugeniusz Niebelski
Abstract
This text deals with the history of the first Catholic missions in Western Siberia; more specifically, it concerns the church in Tomsk and the grounds the governorate authorities allotted to new Bernardine missionaries who came to replace the Jesuits expelled from Russia in 1820. The text briefly presents the Tomsk Bernardines and a reprint of the official document dated March 1821 concerning a gift of land to the Catholic mission (two priests and two lay church assistants), consisting of 245 Russian desyatins (about 267 hectares), including, arable land, fallow land, forests, streams, lakes, marshes, and private roads. The Polish text (translated from Russian) is held by the Jesuit archive in Kraków.
