ABOUT BLESSED
STEFAN GRELEWSKI
15 MAY
BLESSED STEFAN GRELEWSKI,
PRIEST AND MARTYR +1941
As a priest of the
diocese of Radom, Poland, Father Stefan Grelewski did not let his chronic poor
health deter him from undertaking a wide range of apostolic labours,
particularly devoting himself to the spiritual needs of young people and the
relief of the poor.
He was also zealous to promulgate
the faith by means of the written word, founding and editing a monthly journal,
‘Prawda Katolicka’ (Catholic Truth), and authoring many publications that
addressed religious and social issues.
His acute and sensitive
understanding of people helped him to lead souls to God.
In the autumn of 1939,
the Nazis invaded Poland, and began a persecution of Poland’s Catholics. On
24th January 1941, Father Grelewski was arrested together with his younger
brother, (Blessed) Kazimierz Grelewski, who was also a priest.
They were sent first to
the concentration camp of Oswiecim, Poland, and then to the German death camp
of Dachau. The two brothers prayed together and prepared for death by
administering the sacraments to each other. Father Stefan Grelewski died on 9th
May 1941, from torture he had suffered while being interrogated.
“The lowly will rejoice
in the Lord even more and the poorest exult in the Holy One of Israel.” (Is
29:19)

If you enjoy this daily
blog of lesser-known saints, see my
book, which contains short biographies of saints for every day of the year.
Blessed Stefan Grelewski
(1899-1941) was born in Poland. An outstanding priest, he also earned a
doctorate in canon law, wrote and translated works from French and German into
Polish, founded a Catholic magazine, and organized the first Eucharistic
Congress in his diocese.
He was the director of a
boys’ grammar school when World War II broke out. He secretly continued
teaching the faith to his flock during the Nazi occupation until he and his
younger brother were arrested–solely because they were priests–and sent to a
concentration camp. Stefan died of starvation on this date in the Dachau camp.
Blessed Stefan, help me
to forgive those harm me.
