Mykolas Pranciškus Karpavičius (1744–1803) was a preacher, Vilnius University professor, and Bishop of Vyngriai (from 1797). He published many sermons given on various occasions, which are seen as promoting the ideas of the Age of Enlightenment. The preacher used religious sources and referred to current events, emphasising the harmony of Christian and secular values. The Vilnius Monastery of Lateran Canons dedicated Karpavičius’ Sermon of the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul to Major General of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Elder of Vileika Jozef Pac (1736–1797).
