Military ministry in the interwar period in the missionary garrison church in Tarnów

In the years 1918-1939 the Church of Missionaries in Tarnów served as a garrison church. Two military units were stationed in the city permanently: the 16th Infantry Regiment of the Tarnów region, and the 5th Regiment of Mounted Riflemen. In fact this church, as a parish church, was an auxiliary church for the military ministry. A separate issue was the practice of religious life, and especially the cultivation of Catholic traditions by Tarnów’s military. The army was permanently inscribed in the history of the town and the parish. Some of the Missionaries from Tarnów were military chaplains. The plaque placed and consecrated in 2008 on the front of the church, at the entrance to the temple, attests that the Church of the Missionary Priests served the garrison in the years 1918-1939.
