Soon after arriving, Visarion Pavlović became the founder and dean of the Gymnasium Latin-Slavic Academy of Our Lady.

He held the title of the prefect of the Latino-Slavic college and other Serbian institutions in Novi Sad.

Bishop Pavlović and the Serbian Orthodox Church Community were aware that only solid education in the Latin language could ensure a better future for the Serbian people in the Habsburg monarchy.

With Pavlović's efforts, the first Slavic-Latin hospital was built in Novi Sad.
