A Grave in Perm: The Father Walter Ciszek Story.
DioceseofAllentown on Oct 11, 2013 Father Walter Ciszek was born Nov. 4, 1904, in Shenandoah. He was ordained in 1937 as the first American Jesuit in the Byzantine Catholic Rite. He became a Jesuit missionary to Russia and was held captive in Soviet prison camps for 23 years until he was returned to the U.S. in a spy exchange in 1963.
The Father Walter Ciszek Prayer League, based in Shenandoah, was formed in 1985 to promote the cause of Sainthood for the priest. The cause was formally opened in 1989. His cause has reached the stage that it is currently being reviewed in the Vatican.
