The practice of Father Siemaszko Foundation is based on the principle of Priest Kazimierz Siemaszko’s charity activities. He lived in the 2nd part of the 19th century. He took care of children from poor families and orphans.
Thanks to the priests and brothers from the organizations who claim St. Vincent de Paul as their founder it was possible to renovate K.Siemaszko’s deeds in the 2th half of the 20th century, after strong limits from communistic authorities.
