The text, which is accompanied by a photograph, mentions the Chlebów church in the district of Skála, which was burnt down and destroyed in the 16th century. It was not until 1938 that a new church was completed, built with contributions and the help of Count Szczesny Koziebrodzki. The pastor of this parish will also appear (Source: "Wschód", Lviv 1939, no. 130, p. 4, after: Jagiellonian Digital Library).

A modernised reading of the text.

Church without a parish priest.

Historical evidence of the Polishness of Chlebów next to Skałat. The church in the village of Chlebów, Skałat district, was burnt and destroyed during wars and riots in the late 16th century. Since then, Chlebów has not had a church. It was not until last year that a new church was completed on the site of the old one, built with contributions from the local community and with the outstanding help of Count Szczesny Koziebrodzki. It has not yet been consecrated, but is already fully operational. Last year, during the consecration of the local Szczęsny Koziebrodzki People's House, the first mass was celebrated in the newly-built church. This solemn ceremony was attended by the Ternopil governor, Mr Malicki, General Paszkiewicz, the district governor of Skopje, and crowds of local residents, who loudly expressed their desire to be able to attend the church in Chlochov. Since then, stations with the Passion of Christ, various holy images, two bells, etc. have arrived in the church. There are chasubles, there are several foundations for an organ, a canopy, chalices, etc. These sums can only come, according to the wishes of the donors, into the hands of the local parish priest. Count Koziebrodzki has donated 20 morgens of land for the pastor's upkeep, and Countess Koziebrodzka Chutkowska of neighbouring Pozanka Hetmańska, which is to become part of the new parish, has donated 10 morgens. In the autumn of last year, the walls and roof of the beautiful, spacious vicarage were finished, which is now being finished at an accelerated pace. In these days, a delegation of the inhabitants of Chlebowo and Poznanka Hetmańska goes to Archbishop Twardowski to deliver a petition signed by more than 1,000 Poles, requesting the appointment of a parish priest. The appointment of a parish priest in Chlebowo is a matter of urgency. Above all, it is essential that there is someone who will ensure that the gifts and sacrifices of people of good will, patriots and sincere Catholics, donated to the church in Klebov, are not in vain. A great deal has been done, now it is time to take the helm. The village of Chlebov has plenty of evidence that the Polish language has been spoken there for centuries: by the road from Poznanka, through Chlebov, to Grzymalow, there is a stone gravestone with a Polish inscription dated 1607. This is the tombstone of the then heir of Chlebov, Jakub Kozielski and his daughter, who were murdered when the local castle was captured by the Tatars. Further on, leaning against the walls of the new church, is the grave stone of Ludwik Wirzecki, who died in 1641. As our illustrations testify, the inscriptions on both of these gravestones are Polish. Finally, in the old local cemetery, there is the grave of the second-ranking Chlebowski Greek-Catholic parish priest, Tomasz Zaniewicz, who died in 1821, with a monument bearing an inscription in Polish. The church awaits a host, the people await a guide and pastor, the old mementos await a careful hand that will not let them deteriorate.
