About the author
Born in 1825, Peregrin Obdržálek was a Moravian Roman Catholic priest and religious author whose life was closely tied to pastoral work, education, and church service. Sources available here identify him as a monsignor and place his life between 1825 and 1891.
He wrote in Czech and became known for books aimed at ordinary believers, especially works connected with catechism, devotion, and everyday religious instruction. That practical focus helps explain why his writing continued to be remembered beyond his own lifetime: it was meant not for specialists, but for readers looking for clear guidance and encouragement.
Obdržálek died in 1891. While the surviving sources consulted here are brief, they consistently present him as a respected churchman and a productive 19th-century Catholic writer whose work belonged to the religious and cultural life of Moravia and the broader Czech-speaking world.
