In his youth he volunteered to participate in the war with the Bolsheviks in 1920. He also studied Polish studies at the University of Warsaw. In 1924 he was ordained a priest. Later he became a teacher of the bishop's high school in Lublin. After the resignation of the director Bl. Fr.. Kazimierz Gostyński took his job in 1935.

In 1939 the school was closed by German occupiers and converted to barracks and military hospital. Teaching aids, library collections and private collections of directors were taken and burned. Ks. Słowikowski and a part of the staff became a prisoner of the Gestapo at the Castle of Lublin. On March 15, 1940, he was released from prison, and in April of that year he took up the parish of St. Peter and Paul in Kamionka. During his stay in Kamionka, he met Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the late Polish Cardinal and Primate, hiding in the neighboring Kozłówka. During the war he organized secret education in Kamionka and the district of Lubartów and was also an AK chaplain. In 1944 he recreated a gymnasium in a new building at ul. Garden 12 and again became its director. One year later the school returned to the former building (initially only 5 rooms). After the intervention of the Bishop of Lublin Stefan Wyszyński school received half of the last floor and attic. In June 1962, the Communist authorities tried to close the school, but this was met with protests by parents and the church. On July 24, 1962, the militia seized the building and replaced the locks on the door. At the same time, the school ceased to exist for more than 30 years and was reconstructed after the death of Michał Słowikowski.

After the war he became the rector of the church of Our Lady of Victory in Lublin. In the years 1947-1991 he worked simultaneously as a parish priest in the parish of Sts.

He was the Minister of Armed Forces, a close associate of Trujillo, which did not prevent him from accepting Trujillo's murder in 1961 from the American consul in the Dominican Republic, Henry Dearborn. He led to the murder of Rafael Trujillo on May 30, 1961, but he could not use this to overthrow his followers. He failed to arrest them along with Trujillo's sons such as Ramfis.
