Society of Saint Casimir for the Education and Care of Young People information


The Society of Saint Casimir for the Education and Care of Young People (Lithuanian: Lietuvių šv. Kazimiero draugija jaunimui auklėti ir globoti, Polish: Litewskie Towarzystwo Wychowawcze i Opieki nad Młodzieżą im. Św. Kazimierza) was a society of the Lithuanians living in Vilnius (Wilno, Vilna) Region which was controlled by the Second Polish Republic but claimed by the interwar Lithuania. Established in 1925 to promote the Lithuanian national identity and Catholicism, the society organized chapters and reading rooms in various towns and villages and organized various cultural events, mostly amateur theater performances. It had chapters in 482 locations in total[1] and about 20,000 members in 1935.

It cooperated with the Lithuanian Education Society Rytas which maintained Lithuanian schools in the region.[2] Activities of the Society of Saint Casimir were increasingly restricted by the Polish authorities. Most of its chapters were closed in 1936 and the society itself was closed in December 1937. It was briefly reestablished in 1939–1940.
