    Rev. Boleslaus Strzelczok, pastor of the St. Stanislaus Catholic church, at
Cincinnati, is a native of Poland, born at Posen, May 30, 1869, and was educated
primarily in the parochial schools there. After attending the gymnasium of his
native place, an institution which corresponds in a way to the high school of
the United States, Father Strzelczok emigrated to this country as a lad of
fifteen years, in 1884, and in 1889 entered DuQuesne University, Pittsburgh,
from which he was duly graduated. At that time, having decided upon entering the
priesthood of the Catholic church, he went to Britagne, France, where he pursued
a course in Holy Ghost Seminary. Later he attended St. Mary's Seminary, near
Paris, France, after his graduation from which he was ordained a priest of the
Catholic church, September 19, 1896. Feeling that he was needed by his
countrymen who had taken up homes in the United States, he returned to this
country and secured his first charge as assistant pastor at St. Stanislaus
church, Pittsburgh, Pa., where he remained for five years, at the end of that
period going to Dayton, where he organized St. Adelbert's parish and was its
priest for ten years. In September, 1912, he accepted the call to St. Stanislaus
church, Cincinnati, an incumbency which he has since retained. A gentleman of
estimable and spotless character, Father Strzelczok has won for himself an
enviable popularity, and is reverenced by all with whom he has come into
contact, while among his people he is greatly beloved for his unselfish service
and great humanitarianism.
