In the 1930s, while searching for relics of the Polnish culture after the times of the national bondage, Józef Mikołajtis, M.A., a Polish language teacher in Częstochowa, came across the Annals of Poniec, written by Fr. Paweł Gotocki, the pastor of Poniec parish in the years 1617–1651. To protect the Annals against robbery by Prussian authorities, the local pastor and the owner of the town hid them in the attic of the parish church. The recovered parish records and the local library were later handed over to Kórnik Library, whose management gave to Mr. Mikołaitis,as a keepsake, the Annals of Poniec. The work had 48 A4 size pages of Latin text. Fr. Gotocki described in the Annals major chuch and social events in Poniec and its surroundings. He wrote about renovations of the parish church and religious life of the community (religious services, pilgrimage for the intention to stop the epidemic, takeover of the parish church by Czech Brethren and by followers of Luther, return of Catholics to the parish church, building , as a token of gratitude, the Votive Church of Holy Trinity. The author wrote a lot about natural disasters (bubonic plague, fires, droughts and floods, poor harvests and high prices of food, false coins from Bohemia, appearance of strange phenomena on the sky, a cruel murder). Important ewents were deaths of eminent state and church personages and appointment of their successors. Fr. Gotocki was well aware of the matters connected with fights against the Swedish prince, Gustavus of Sudermania, for Livonia and Pomerania, against Cossacks and Tatars and with the 30 Years’ War. Fr. Gotocki emphasized the heroism of defenders of the Motherland – Prince Janusz Zbaraski, Prince Jarema Wiśniowiecki and Aleksander Karchowski, a heroic knightt from Greater Poland (Wielkopolska). F. Gotocki concluded the Annals with a description of the military expedition against mutinous Cossacks and Tatars in 1651. In that year Fr. Gotocki probably died.
