place in Rzeszow on May 1, 1661. Listed among the witnesses of this event is the name of Stanislaus Papczynski, who signed the doc- ument of the profession as Stanislaus a Jesu Maria Sacerdos . 123 The document is kept in the general archives of the Piarist Fathers in Rome. 124 An identical testimony can be found in the document of the religious profession made by Casimir of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Paczynski, which took place on September 21, 1661 in Rzeszow. 125 Under the date of October 1661, the register of the Rzeszow house lists Stanislaus of Jesus Mary among the mem- bers of the house who were ordained to the priesthood. The register is kept in Rome. 126 There is yet another document which mentions the fact that Pa- pczynski received the diaconate, and it is the only mention of this event that is available. The document states that, during his stay in Rzeszow in 1661, Fr. Stanislaus of Jesus Mary received the diaconate and was ordained to the priesthood by Stanislaus Sarnowski, the Bishop of Przemysl. 127 The document is an excerpt from a list pre- pared by Fr. Wenceslaus Opatowski on November 8, 1661. 128 The first mention regarding the place and the date of Stanislaus Pa- pczynski’s ordination can be found on the list of the members of the Rzeszow house compiled on March 19, 1662. 129 It is kept in the archives of the Piarist Fathers in Rome. 130 An identical notation about Fr. Papczynski’s ordination can be found in yet another list of the members of the same house from 1662. 131 It is a later entry, for Fr. Stanislaus was 32 years old at that time. Mention should also be made of an excerpt from a register of the Piarists of the Polish Province of 1663, where Stanislaus Papczynski is listed as a priest not only by his religious name, but also by his first name and family name that he bore before he joined the Piarists. 132 Identical testimonies regarding Papczynski’s ordination can be found in subsequent registers. 133 S TANISLAUS P APCZYNSKI 120
