Blessed Jerzy Popieluszko was destined to a farm family. Appointed on 28 May 1972 in the archdiocese of Warsaw, Poland. Noted and vocal enemy of Communist minister during the time of Communist standard in Poland. Worked intimately with the counter Communist Solidarity association development.

Father Jerzy’s messages were communicated on Radio Free Europe. The mystery police undermined and compelled him to stop, yet he overlooked them. They exaggerated proof and captured him in 1983, however the Church chain of command demonstrated that they would battle the charges; the bogus allegations were dropped, Father Jerzy was discharged, proceeded with his work, and was absolved in a general acquittal of 22 July 1984.

The Communists attempted a few times to kill him and make it resemble a mishap or mysterious assault, however, they quit concealing their expectations, and the mystery police essentially grabbed and killed Father Jerzy.
