I will receive death gladly if such be God’s will, but I shall never compromise my conscience as a preacher.
Blessed Zenon Kovalyk who was martyred by the Soviets.

Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 43 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
According to https://sspp.ca/our-faith/saints-and-blessed/blessed-zynoviy-kovalyk/ and catholic.org, he was martyred by the Soviets and not the Nazis. The Soviets and the Nazis we two peas in a pod.
I love the Saint of the day posts and your site. Thank you.
Thanks for catching that Brian. It occurred during the opening stages of Operation Barbarossa, hence my confusion. Corrected.
