Prof. Dr. hab. Andrzej Szostek, MIC, passed away at a hospital in Lublin after a long battle with a serious illness. He was a longtime faculty member at the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin (1970\u20132018), vice-rector and rector of that university, and a faculty member at the University of Warsaw within the \u201cArtes Liberales\u201d Faculty and at Marie Curie-Sk\u0142odowska University.

Andrzej Ryszard Szostek<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, son of Ryszard and Irena (n\u00e9e Zieli\u0144ska), was born on November 9, 1945, in Grudzi\u0105dz. In Grudzi\u0105dz, he completed elementary school (1952\u201359) and high school at the Boles\u0142aw Chrobry High School (1959\u201363). In addition, in 1963, he graduated from the seven-year Elementary Music School in Grudzi\u0105dz, specializing in piano. During the 1963\u201364 academic year, he studied history at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toru\u0144.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After completing his first year, he joined the Congregation. As a postulant, he was sent to Lublin for seminary studies. After completing his first year at the seminary, recognizing his exceptional talent, he transferred to the Faculty of Philosophy at the Catholic University of Lublin (KUL) at the suggestion of his superiors. Under the supervision of Cardinal Karol Wojty\u0142a, in 1969 he wrote his master\u2019s thesis on: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ethics as an Empirical Science According to T. Cze\u017cowski and T. Kotarbi\u0144ski.<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In 1969, he began his novitiate in Sk\u00f3rzec, and on August 15, 1970, he made his first profession. After his vows, he returned to Lublin to study theology and, with the permission of his superiors, began working at the Department of Ethics first as a research assistant and, after a year, as an assistant professor. He made his perpetual vows on August 15, 1973, in G\u00f3ra Kalwaria at Marianki. There, he was also ordained a priest on June 23, 1974, by Bishop Bronis\u0142aw D\u0105browski, FDP, Secretary of the Polish Episcopal Conference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After his ordination, he remained in Lublin as a doctoral candidate and a research and teaching staff member at the Department of Ethics at the Catholic University of Lublin (KUL).

In 1981, he became superior and rector of our House of Studies in Lublin, as well as the coordinator of priestly studies for the Polish Province. At the end of 1983, he was relieved of his duties as superior of the house; however, he was simultaneously requested to continue serving in that capacity until a new superior was appointed, which took place on August 28, 1984.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From 1987 to 1993, he served as the third councilor of the Polish Province.
