[99]
] (Diary 473) 451-500
[99] The
Archbishop of Vilnius at the time was The Rev. Romuald Jalbrzykowski
(1876-1955). He was graduated from the seminary in Petersburg (1898-1902), and
was ordained in 1901. He became professor at the seminary in Sejny and canon of the Sejny
chapter. He was evacuated to Petersburg during World War I, and then moved to
Minsk, where he conducted lively pastoral, educational and social activities.
After several years of wandering, he returned to Sejny
in 1917. Consecrated bishop in 1918, he worked as an auxiliary in the Polish
section of the diocese of Sejny. From 1921 he was the
Apostolic Delegate, and in 1926 the first ordinary of the newlyestablished
diocese of Lomza. On the death of the Metropolitan of
Vilnius, Archbishop Jan Cieplak, he assumed
government of the Diocese of Vilnius on September 8, 1926. On March 13, 1940 he
was arrested by the Germans and interned in the monastery of the Marian Fathers
at Mariampol in Lithuania. He returned to Vilnius on
August 5, 1944. In December of the same year, he was again arrested and
imprisoned in Vilnius. After the end of World War II, he had to transfer to
Bialystok, where he devoted all his energies to the organization of the
Metropolitan Curia, appointing priests to the vacant parishes and dealing with
many necessary matters.
In his
relationships with others, Archbishop Jalbrzykowski
was simple, accessible, understanding and patient. But towards himself he was
very exacting. He died in Bialystok on June 19, 1955.
