Father Walter J. Ciszek, a native of Shenandoah, Pennsylvania and a son of St. Casimir parish, is a candidate for sainthood in the Roman Catholic Church. He was imprisoned and detained in the former Soviet Union for nearly 24 years but continued to minister to people there despite the possible harmful consequences. His family thought he was dead. When he returned home, he was shocked by the wastefulness of Americans, and said he felt like a stranger. He could not believe the amounts of paper and plastic and other things that we throw away, and how small families will fill relatively large houses. This to him seemed like a luxury of space. The local research and paperwork for sainthood, done by the Father Ciszek Prayer League, have been completed and forwarded to the Vatican in Rome. The...
