Władysław Gurgacz „Sem”

Władysław Gurgacz was born to Maria and Jan Gurgacz in Jabłonica Polska, a village near Krosno, on 2 April 1914. He finished the primary school in Jabłonica and the secondary school in Korczyna. At 17, he entered the Jesuit novitiate in Stara Wieś.

In 1937, he undertook studies in philosophy in Cracow. On 7 April 1939, he made the act of complete sacrifice for the homeland in need at the Jasna Góra monastery. In August 1942, he was ordained as a priest at Jasna Góra. When World War II ended, he became a parish priest in Gorlice, and then in Krynica.
