SPIRITUAL RESISTANCE

As the young and ardent chaplain of the Solidarity labor union, Father Popiełuszko embodied the Polish people’s resistance to Communism, and for this he was murdered in 1984, at the age of thirty-seven, by the Communist regime’s security forces. Soon afterward, Father Popiełuszko was hailed as a martyr and a national hero, and his example inspired the Polish people to persevere in their struggle for political and religious freedom.
