Bąkiewicz was born to Paul and Agnet Bąkiewicz in 1760; he would be baptized on 1 December at the church of Chmiel.[3] Between 1786 and 1788, he served as professor of mathematics in the city of Kielce.[4] Following the death of Adam Prosper Burzyński in 1830, Bąkiewicz would assume the role of apostolic administrator.[5] Prior to Burzyński's death, he served as archdeacon.[6]

Bąkiewicz was appointed as bishop on 9 January 1840; he would not be consecrated and was buried in Sandomierz Cathedral.[7] Following his death, the tsar of Russia nominated three people to succeed him; these men were Józef Joachim Goldtman, Thadée Kotowski and Antoine Lubienski. In a letter to Karl Nesselrode, dated 1 May 1843, Pope Gregory XVI refused to examine their bulls of institution. By 1844 - as a result of the tsar's impatience - Józef Goldtman was appointed as Bąkiewicz's successor.[8]
