details of death

On 01.10.1912, appointed as a chaplain to the Imperial Austro–Hungarian Army.

Initially — till c. 1914, i.e. until the outbreak of World War I, served in the city of Banya Luka in Bosnia Herzegovina (till 1908 formally part of the Turkish Ottoman Empire, in 1908 annexed by Austria–Hungary, which caused the outbreak of the so‑called „Bosnian crisis”).

In the Austro–Hungarian army ministered also during World War I.

In 1918, after Poland regained independence, became a chaplain of the Polish Army. Took part in the Greater Poland Uprising 1918‑1919, Polish–Ukrainian war of 1918‑1919 and the Polish–Russian war of 1919‑1921. Participated in the defense of Lviv 1918‑1919, when the city was besieged by the Ukrainians.

From 1921, continued to minister as a dean in the Polish Army, within the Field Ordinariate of the Polish Army.

On c. 14.09.1925 went, as was his custom, to annual celebrations in Obroszyn village, 14 km from Lviv, where the palace was located, which was the summer residence of the Lviv archbishops, and the Exaltation of the Holy Cross church. On return, stopped in Lviv, where decided to spend the night in the Carmelites' monastery.

There, at night, was murdered by a Carmelite novice (four years in the order), Bro Adam Joseph Kopacz — previously a priest of the Przemyśl diocese, removed from parish priest post due to insanity, and then a patient of the head of the Department of Neurology and Psychiatry of the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Dr John Vladislav Piltz.

The assailant used an ax — horribly chopped up the victim's upper body, split the skull, chopped off two fingers…

Polish‑Russian war of 1919‑1921: War for independence of Poland and its borders. Poland regained independence in 1918 but had to fight for its borders with former imperial powers, in particular Russia. Russia planned to incite Bolshevik‑like revolutions in the Western Europe and thus invaded Poland. Russian invaders were defeated in 08.1920 in a battle called Warsaw battle („Vistula river miracle”, one of the 10 most important battles in history, according to some historians). Thanks to this victory Poland recaptured part of the lands lost during partitions of Poland in XVIII century, and Europe was saved from the genocidal Communism.

Polish‑Ukrainian war of 1918‑1919: One of the wars for borders of the newly reborn Poland. At the end of 1918 on the former Austro‑Hungarian empire’s territory, based on the Ukrainian military units of the former Austro‑Hungarian army, Ukrainians waged war against Poland. In particular attempted to create foundation of an independent state and attacked Lviv. Thanks to heroic stance of Lviv inhabitants, in particular young generation of Poles — called since then Lviv eaglets — the city was recaptured by Poles and for a number of months successfully defended against furious Ukrainian attacks. In 1919 Poland — its newly created army — pushed Ukrainian forces far to the east and south, regaining control over its territory. (more on: en.wikipedia.orgClick to attempt to display webpage

Greater Poland Uprising: Military insurrection of Poles of former German Germ. Posen Provinz (Eng. Poznań province) launched against German Reich in 1918‑1919 — after the abdication on 09.11.1918 of the German Emperor William II Hohenzollern; after the armistice between the Allies and Germany signed on 11.1.1918 in the HQ wagon in Compiègne, the headquarters of Marshal of France Ferdinand Foch — which de facto meant the end of World War I — against the German Weimar Republic, established on the ruins of the German Empire, aiming to incorporate lands captured by Prussia during partitions of Poland in XVIII century into Poland, reborn in 1918. Started on 27.12.1918 in Poznań and ended on 16.02.1919 with the armistice in Trier (which included provisions ordering the Germans to stop their actions against Poland), which meant a de facto Polish victory. Many Polish priests took part in the Uprising, both as chaplains of the insurgents units and members and leaders of the Polish agencies and councils set up in the areas covered by the Uprising. In 1939 after German invasion of Poland and start of the World War II those priests were particularly persecuted by the Germans and majority of them were murdered.
