This study evaluates the life and work of Count Zikmund Václav Halka-Ledóchowski (1863–1944) in the context of his biographical background. This consisted of a prominent Catholic Polish noble lineage Lédochovski from the father’s side and the Czech-Austrian noble line of Zessner-Spitzenberg from the mother’s side. He left his hometown of Uherské Hradiště to studying at the theological institute of the Society of Jesus in Tirolean Innsbruck (1884–1887). After his ordination, he became a member of the Society of Jesus (1887–1902). He worked in Styrian Lavantalle, Bohosudov and Prague. He left the order in 1902 and became a canon, first in Kroměříž (1906–1908) and then in Olomouc (1908–1932). He then worked as a prelate and between the years 1930–1932 provost of the canonry. He was extremely active in various associations, press and charities at all of these stations. The life work of Count Halka-Ledóchowski involved the establishment and administration of the Auspice for the Young in Prague (1903–1944), a community which consisted of desperate young people and guys from poor families, based on the social work of Abbé Ségur, Don Bosco and Baron Bethun.
