After the establishment of the Diocese of Wigry in 1799, many priests returned to their mother dioceses (Wilno, Łuck, Żmudź) situated in the Tsardom of Russia. Bp M. Karpowicz and the Prussian Government received religious from convents which were being suppressed in the Tsardom in order to replace them. Many religious returned to their places of origin, which where part of the sector of Poland annexed by Prussia. This state of the matter was taken over by the Diocese of Augustów, that is of Sejny, which came into being in 1818, in place of the Diocese of Wigiy. The bishops of Wigry, and later - of Augustów, frequently received documents concerning the secularization of religious from Rome. After the establishment of the Seminary in 1826, the bishope reduced the number of petitions to the Apostolic See. Gradually the number of priests educated on the spot (in Sejny) increased. In the 1820’s Russia limited the departures of religious to the Kingdom and forced those, who went 70 ArŁm, II 144 к. 71; II 148 k. 54; II 149 k. 8.

The Diocese of Augustów, that is of Sejny, had only nine male religious convent and one female one. After the January Uprising four of them were suppressed, three supernumerary survived for a few years. Only the Capuchins in Łomża and the Marians in Mariampol remained until the beginning of the present century, while the Benedictine Sisters - during the whole period. The religious priests travelled to parishes during the period of Easter confessions, preached sermons during parish solemnities, substituted priests who were ill. They heard confessions in their churches also, especially during frequent solemnities attended by many faithful. In the buildings of the convents diocesan priests had their yearly retreats, some stayed there placed there for a period of penance by the bishop. The assistance of religious coming from Russia in the pastoral ministry appeared mainly at the start of the XIX century and, as a result of their secularization, for a longer period of time. The Diocese of Augustów, that is of Sejny, was enriched by religious spirituality. In the second half of the century there was a lack of this influence which (together with many governmental restrictions) gave pastoral ministry a more administrative character.

In the middle of the XIX century the Ressurectionist Fathers started the effort to create the college for the candidates preparing for the ministry (priesthood). Not forgetting about convincing the Pope to this initiative the funds were gathered. The Princess Zofia Odescalchi contributed greatly to this project and founded many grants for Polish alumns studying in the college. Together with the Count Włodzimierz Czacki she solicited in the Apostolic See for creating the college. The project, however, encountered many obstacles because of the lack of funds as well as the strong diplomatic opposition from the Russian and Prussian side. In spite of the diplomatic efforts especially in Russia, which opposed of the establishment of the college, in May 1865 the Pope ordered to create the Pontifical Committee for creating Polish College. In the same time cardinal Antonelli, Secretary of state of the Apostolic See, signed the nomination decrees of the members of the Committee. The president of the Committee became the cardinal Mikołaj Paracciani Clarelli. The Pope Pius IX strongly supported this initiative and with decree from 9 March 1866 Polish Pontifical College was established in Rome, nominating the previous day Priest Peter Semeneka the First Rector of the College. The Statute of the College was confidential, approved and divided into ten articles. The Polish Pontifical College, acting under the auspices of the Pope, was destined to educate young Polish people in the scope of philosophy, theology, the canonical law as well as preparing them for priestly ordinations. At cardinal vice-rector’s request the rector of the college was nominated by the Pope. The formal opening of the college was at 24 March 1866 and the next day six alumns started studying in the college. Among them was Józef Sebastian Pelczar, later the Bishop of Przemyśl beatified and canonized by the Pope John Paul II. The Polish Pontifical College has been functioning continuously since more than hundred and forty years.

Abstract: A series of imperial decrees of the 1820s ordering the establishment of a Greco-Uniate Theological Collegium and appropriate consistories contributed to the spread of the autocratic synodal system of government and the establishment of control over Greek Uniate church institutions in the annexed territories of Right-Bank Ukraine. As a result, the Greco-Uniate Church was put on hold in favor of the government's favorable grounds for the rapid localization of its activities. Basilian accusations of supporting the Polish November Uprising of 1830-1831 made it possible to liquidate the OSBM and most monasteries. The transfer of the Pochaiv Monastery to the ownership of the Orthodox clergy in 1831 was a milestone in the liquidation of the Greco-Uniate Church and the establishment of a Russian-style Orthodox mono-confessionalism. On the basis of archival documents, the political motivation of the emperor's decree to confiscate the Pochayiv Monastery from the Basilians with all its property and capital was confirmed. The transfer to the category of monasteries of the 1st class and the granting of the status of a lavra indicated its special role in strengthening the position of the autocracy in the western region of the Russian Empire. The orders of the Holy Synod outline the key tasks of ensuring the viability of the Lavra as an Orthodox religious center: the introduction of continuous worship, strengthening the personal composition of the population, delimitation of spiritual responsibilities, clarifying the affiliation of the printing house. However, maintaining the rhythm of worship and financial and economic activities established by the Basilians proved to be a difficult task, the solution of which required ten years of hard work. In order to make quick changes in the monastery, decisions were made by the emperor and senior government officials, and government agencies were involved at the local level, which required the coordination of actions of all parties to the process.
