1887 - 1941
Beatified By: Pope John Paul II

Andrew Ishchak was born on September 20, 1887 in Mykolayiv, in the Lviv District. He gained his Theological education at the universities in Lviv and Innsbruck. In 1914, he received his Ph.D. in Theology from the University of Innsbruck and was ordained. Beginning in 1928, he taught at the Lviv Theological Academy. He was able to combine his professorial duties with his pastoral work in the village of Sykhiv, near Lviv. It was there that he met his death on 26 June 1941, thus becoming a martyr for the faith at the hands of soldiers of the retreating Soviet Army.

This brief outline told me nothing about the character of this man, his virtues, why he is to be imitated as a saint. All I know is that he was born, was educated, ordained and killed. I would like to know something of his struggles, his prayers, his temptations, his holiness.
