Fr. #Popiełuszko — 🇵🇱 priest, martyr & hero. A 🧵

When Communist officials kidnapped & killed Fr Popiełuszko, they likely did not intend to help create a 🇵🇱 hero, martyr & future saint

Jerzy Popiełuszko was born #OTD in 1947 to a farming family in Okopy, a village in eastern #Poland bordering modern-day #Ukraine. While #WWII had ended, the regime of the Communist Party had taken place of the 🇩🇪 and 🇷🇺 occupants and ruled 🇵🇱 at the time.
As a young man, Popiełuszko served his required time in the army before completing seminary studies and becoming a priest for the Archdiocese of Warsaw. He was ordained on May 28, 1972 at the age of 24.
