Edit ProfileCareer
He was beatified by Pope John Paul II on 13 June 1999 as one of the 108 Polish Martyrs of World World War World War II Stanisław Kubista was a perplexed, but noted, man for his eagerness to learn and to serve. In 1917, he was sent to the French Front to serve as a radio and telegraph operator until 1919, when he was recalled in Poland. In 1927, after years of gruelling training, and suffering to become a priest, he was ordained.
During his schooling in the seminar, he was noted to be a good writer
Especially in the Polish language. In 1928, he was appointed sub rector of Gorna Grupa (where later on, fellow martyr Aloysius Liguda would be the main rector).
He later realized that life was everywhere, it was all around him. Until October 27, 1940, the priest wrote stage plays and publication, as well as procuring things needed for the community and for the people in the seminary.
On October 27, 1939, the house was captured and was made into an internment camp, which stranded the people until February 5, 1940.
On April 9, 1940, French Kubista and French Ligura parted their ways when French Ligura was taken to Dachau concentration camp and French
Kubista was taken to Sachsenhausen concentration camp.
While on route, he caught cold which turned into pneumonia and he also suffered from what was called colitis. Still, he was brutally beaten and starved.
On April 26, 1940, the officer in charge of the barracks entered Kubista"s cell and said "You have nothing to live for!". The officer then stepped on his chest with one foot and put the other foot on his throat with enough force to break his collarbone.
Stanisław Kubista then convulsed and died minutes later.
He was buried in an unknown mass grave.
