In black and white

In black-and-white photographs from those years, a smiling John Paul II, newly elected pope, opens his arms wide. This openness would later be one of the most expressive features of his pontificate.

The Museum of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko in the basement of St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Żoliborz. In the display case: the shirt, trousers and shoes that Father Jerzy was wearing at the time of his death. Also the tools of the crime: a militia baton, ropes and the stones that were tied to his legs before his body was thrown into the Vistula River.

A visit at Cinderella’s

From a warm stove in the village of Okopy Podlasie to the story: “We threw the body over the barrier to the river side, standing on the dam facing Włocławek.” The Żoliborz museum is a shocking tale about Cinderella – because that’s what the name “Popiełuszko” means in Belarusian.

Cardinal Józef Glemp: On various occasions, I told him to be careful, but he kept repeating that courage was needed, that one should not be afraid, and that people believed in him. He showed confidence that he was on the right path.

Before the crime took place

The martyrdom of Father Popiełuszko was no accident. The communist services had been surrounding him with their agents and harassing him in various ways since 1982.

Father Michał Rapacz, who was murdered in 1946 by a communist militia in Płoki near Trzebinia, was proclaimed blessed on 15th June 2024. The beatification ceremony took place at the Sanctuary of Divine Mercy in Kraków-Łagiewniki.

Crimes unpunished

In the last decade of the existence of the Polish People’s Republic, ten priests known for their opposition activities died violently. Only the torturers of Fr. Popiełuszko appeared in court.

The attitude and teachings of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko organised my values, set priorities, and helped me understand the purpose behind my actions.

My Fr. Jerzy

I met Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko during confession in the church of St. Stanislaus Kostka in Żoliborz. he was very gentle, today I would say: full of love.

During his third pilgrimage to Poland in 1987, John Paul II prayed in silence for a long time at the grave of Father Jerzy. He did not deliver any speech; instead, he prayed on his knees, kissing and embracing the tombstone.

It does not expire

In the dark times of communism, Father Jerzy Popiełuszko consciously referred to the teachings of John Paul II. Alongside the words of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the papal teachings became an important, almost indispensable element of his sermons in Warsaw’s Żoliborz.

The gospel according to Fr. Jerzy

“The actors of the drama and trial of Christ are still alive,” said Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko in his homily during the Mass for the Fatherland on 26th September 1982. “Only their names and faces have changed, the dates and places of their births have changed.”

From April 1982, Masses for the Fatherland were celebrated on the last Sunday of the month at 7:00 PM. From the end of February 1982 until 26th August 1984, 26 Eucharists were held at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Warsaw for the intention of the Fatherland.

Two hours of freedom

Officiated by Fr. Jerzy Popiełuszko, the Masses for the Fatherland became the main reason for his persecution and, ultimately, martyrdom, but also a source of hope and comfort for millions of Poles.

The funeral of Father Jerzy Popiełuszko took place on 3rd November 1984 at St. Stanislaus Kostka Church in Warsaw’s Żoliborz district. It is estimated that at least 450,000 people attended, with some sources suggesting as many as one million participants. The ceremony became a major anti-communist demonstration.

Death in an Orwellian year 1984

On the 40th anniversary of the martyrdom of Blessed Father Jerzy Popiełuszko, when the political and social context of those events had become blurred, their metaphysical dimension became more visible – the clash of evangelical Good and Evil.
