• Description:
  Fr. Symforian Tomicki was born in 1817 in Gołaszyn. After graduating from St. Mary Magdalene Gymnasium in Poznań he studied theology at the Wrocław University in the years 1841--1845. Having obtained his degree he spent a year at the seminary in Gniezno and in 1846 was ordained as a priest. He served as a parochial vicar in Trzemeszno, Pobiedziska, Pępowo and Kościan, and then as a pastor in Mikstat (1853-1858) and Konojad (1858-1877). In 1860 he reactivated "Szkółka Niedzielna" ("The Sunday School"), a journal for the rural readership, which appeared in the years 1837-1853. As its editor (a function he performed until 1863) he was sentenced to two years in a tower for breaking the Prussian press law, and served the sentence in Wisłoujście. When L. Rzepecki founded the weekly "Oświata" ("Education") in 1876, Fr. Tomicki was its editor for the first six months. He published his numerous writings on religious themes and poems in a variety of journals. He was the author of several books, including a handbook for peasants titled Mądry Wach (Wise Wach), two volumes of poems Kwiaty więzienia (The Flowers of the Prison) and Śpiewy religijne (Religious Chants), historical works Ustawa Rządowa z dnia Trzeciego Maja 1791 (The Government Bill of the Third of May 1791) and Pierwsi papieże (The First Popes). Fr. Tomicki died in 1877 in Konojad and was buried   there.
