abstract: The first permanent Catholic institution in Kiev was – from the 1380s – a Dominican monastery with a wooden church of St Nicholas. It was founded on the initiative of the missionary organization of the order (Societas Fratrum Peregrinantium propter Christum inter gentes, SFP) with the support of a small community of the faithful, mostly Polish and Genoese merchants, Lithuanian officials and soldiers, as well as the Armenians of that confession. Until 1456, it belonged to the Ruthenian Vicariate
