I passed this memorial to Father Roman Indrzejczyka a few evenings ago:
Having passed the memorial, I had to look up who Father Indrzejczyka was. Through doing this, I found out that he was ordained into the priesthood in late 1956, and at one point, served as a priest at St. Alexander's church in Warsaw. Between 1986 and 2004, he was the parish priest at the Church of the Infant Jesus in Warsaw, which is very near the memorial above:
Tragically, at nearly 80 years of age, with many others, Father Indrzejscyka died in the Polish air disaster in Smolensk, Russia, on April 10th, 2010, as from late 2005 onwards, he was the Catholic chaplain to the Polish President, Lech Kaczyński who also lost his life in the disaster, of course.
