More info about him:
Priest Czeslaw Koczorowski
He was born on July 15, 1907 in Gozdów, in the Poznań province, the Wrzesnia deanery. His father was a craftsman.
He came from a family of eight children. After completing primary and secondary school, after passing the exam he entered the Seminary in Gniezno. He completed his philosophical and theological studies in 1929-1934 in Gniezno and Poznań. From June 17, 1934 to September 1, 1939, he was in the parish of Saint. Michael the Archangel in Kcynia, in the province Bydgoszcz. On September 17, 1939, he was arrested by the Nazis and imprisoned. Then he was in turn in concentration camps in Sachsenhausen and Dachau. In the latter he was liberated, on April 29, 1945, by American troops. After the war, he worked briefly in West Germany in Ulm.
On April 27, 1946, he returned to the country and, at the same time, he received the parish of Saint. Nicholas in Srebrna Góra. By decree of June 30, 1950, he was transferred to the parish of St. Of the Trinity in Łobżenica, where he was also dean of this deanery. He was then the youngest dean in the Archdiocese of Gniezno. After 35 years of serving in this parish, exhausted by work and not always enjoying good health, he retired in 1985. He stayed in Łobżenica and lived with his family.
For the faithful and dedicated priesthood work in pastoral work, Pope John XXIII, on March 2, 1962, raised Fr. Dean Czesław Koczorowski for the dignity of the papal chamberlain. On his initiative, the vicariate with catechetical rooms was placed.
A great joy for Fr. The prelate was the fact that during 35 years of his pastoral work in the Łobżenicka parish nearly 40 priests and nuns were brought up. This is a peculiar record not only within the reach of the Archdiocese. Ks. Koczorowski maintained constant contact with colleagues, prisoners of concentration camps, and took part in a pilgrimage of the ex-prisoners of KL Dachau to Rome. Parishioners valued him above all for the good word he had for each of them. He liked talking to them, going through the streets of Łobżenica. He was simply a PAY for them.
He died on November 23, 1989 in Łobżenica aged 82 and in the 55th year of the priesthood. He was buried in a parish cemetery in Łobżice.
