Olczak, who is the pastor of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rockville, graduated from Catholic University in Lublin, which was the only Catholic college in eastern Europe at the time, and then began his ministry in Cracow at the same time Wojtyla served as Bishop of Cracow. “All of us, one way or another, were touched by his ministry,” Olczak remembered. “We are saddened that he has passed away,” he said. “He would come to our main shrine, and when he came to visit Poland [after he became Pope] he always came to the shrine,” he said. It was during the Bishop’s first pilgrimage to The Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in Poland that Olczak received Holy Communion from the Bishop, who would be inaugurated as Pope John Paul II on Oct. 22, 1978. “Many cardinals and bishops were with him,” Olczak recalled. “I couldn’t believe it, but there were half a million people standing out in front of the shrine.” Although Olczak came to America in 1970, he was impressed by another great event that took place at The Shrine of Our Lady of Czestochowa in August 1991 – the Youth of the World Meeting, presided over by Pope John Paul II. “It was a grand gathering of youth from all continents,” —Olczak said.“Youth came from Ukraine, Russia, eastern block countries and the western block, and people brought trucks of food,” he said. “They were giving food away and people opened their homes to them. It was a most wonderful loving experience.” Olczak pointed out that Pope John Paul II championed youth from the beginning of his papal ministry. His inaugural address included a salutation to the world’s young people. “You are the hope of the church and of the world,” he said on the fall day in St. Peter’s Square, when he became the leader of the Catholic church universal. Olczak said that, although the Holy Father dealt with many conflicts during his lifetime, everyone knew exactly what Pope John Paul II was teaching about moral standards, the standards of the church universal and the Catholic faith. He said that people didn’t always agree with him, but they always knew where he stood. “He was not wishy-washy,” he said. “And he was not just a Catholic, but a universal pastor. Those who were Muslims, Jews, Protestants – believers and unbelievers – were all touched by his ministry,” said Father Joseph. St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Rockville is a Polish congregation and a member of the Norwich Diocese. |
