Abstract

The article presents the life and work of Fr. Lucjan Łuszczki (1910-1991) a Polish monk who was active in South America, latterly as Rector of the Polish Catholic Mission in Argentina where he oversaw the Millennium celebrations of Poland’s Christianity (1966) and the pastoral visit of Bishop Władysław Rubin (1968). Through the prism of Fr. Łuszczki’s pastoral work the article also paints a picture of the life of Polish diaspora in South America – the political, social, economic and everyday life issues with which they had to contend.
