Paweł Kontny

Paweł Kontny SChr (June 29, 1910 - February 1, 1945) was a Polish priest of the Roman Catholic Church. He was a member of the Society of Christ. During World War II he served as a priest in Lędziny. On February 1, 1945, he was killed by Soviet soldiers while protecting two girls from being kidnapped and raped. [1] The Soviets forced the townspeople to bury Kontny's body in the place where he was killed.[2] [3] Three days later, after the front moved west, the townspeople exhumed Kontny's remains and buried them at the local cemetery.[4][5][6][7] A street was named after him in Lędziny.[8][9] A cause for his beatification is currently being prepared.[10][11]
