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.
The power of attraction

The power of attraction

A priest who “walked without shoes” because he gave them to those in need, was able to talk to a doctor, a professor, a simple cleaning woman or a steelworker from beneath the furnace – this is what those around him said.
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.
