He was the son of Basil and Mary Hołowczyc (née Ostaszkiewicz), who came from a Belarussian noble family that was located near Pinsk. He would be ordained in 1772. From 1774 to 1776, he would travel Europe for scientific purposes; upon returning to Poland, he was made secretary to Andrzej Młodziejowski[1] and later Michał Jerzy Poniatowski.[7] He would serve as canon at the cathedrals of the Archdiocese of Warsaw in 1781 and of the Archdiocese of Kraków in 1783; he would also act as dean of the cathedral of the Diocese of Kielce.[1] On 6 March 1819, he would be appointed and consecrated as the first Bishop of the Diocese of Sandomierz; he would be made Archbishop of Warsaw in 1820, with Adam Prosper Burzyński succeeding him as Bishop of Sandomierz.[8]
On 17 December 1819, Hołowczyc would be appointed Primate of Poland, succeeding Poniatowski.[2][9] He would die on 27 August 1823; his funeral was held on 5 September.[10]
