The book by author Zygmunt Adam Czernicki contains information on the structure, organization and functioning of the Church in Poland in 1925. It includes descriptions of individual dioceses and their divisions, with an appendix on bishops, priests, religious orders and church institutions. Statistical data on the number of priests, churches, parishes and the faithful are also provided. The 1925 edition of the Schematism was of particular importance for the Church in Poland, as it took place during the closest period of the country's history. Poland had regained its independence after 123 years of partition, but was going through difficult times of rebuilding the country and attaching its position on the international stage. In this context, the role of the Church was particularly attentive.
