Curriculum vitae<\/p>\n

Father Ryszard Kukie\u0142ka, MIC<\/b>, son of J\u00f3zef and Janina ne\u00e9 Dyniec, was born Feb. 20, 1957, in Zamo\u015b\u0107. He also finished his elementary and high school there. Upon obtaining his high school certificate, he completed three years at the Wroc\u0142aw Politechnic University. In 1982, he was admitted to the Congregation of Marian Fathers and made his first vows in Sk\u00f3rzec on Sept. 8, 1983, after completing his novitiate. Next, he began his studies at the Marian Major Seminary in Lublin. On August 26, 1988, in Elbl\u0105g, he made his perpetual profession in our Congregation. On June 3, 1990, Bishop Zbigniew Kraszewski ordained him to the priesthood at the church of our Lady Mother of Mercy in Warsaw-Stegny. After the ordination, Fr. Ryszard was sent to fill the duties of a catechist, parish vicar, and house counselor in Sk\u00f3rzec. In 1994-96, he took the German language course at the university in Eichst\u00e4dt along with pastoral training in preparation for his ministry in Germany. In 1996-98 he served at the Marian post in Vilgertshofen, carrying out the duties of the house counselor and working pastorally in nearby parishes. In 1998, he was transferred to our house in Grzybowo. In 1999-2005, he went to Stoczek Klasztorny to take over the office of the house superior and treasurer. Later he also became the pastor of local parish and the shrine of Our Lady of Peace. The following year he spent serving at the Marian shrine in Liche\u0144, which he left for pastoral work at the rectoral church (located at Ko\u015bcielna Street) in Grudzi\u0105dz. During his two-year service there, he also completed his post-graduate studies at the Faculty of Theology of the Miko\u0142aj Kopernik University in Toru\u0144, obtaining the licentiate in Theology. From 2008, he was the pastor of The Divine Mercy Parish in Zakopane-Cyrhla. For more than a year he struggled against cancer, while continuing to carry out his pastoral obligations. He died in the night hours of Oct. 12, 2011, in the Rabka Hospice. May the Lord grant him eternal rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>
