Walter Joseph Ciszek, S.J. (November 4, 1904 – December 8, 1984) was a Polish-American, Jesuit priest of the Russian Greek Catholic Church who clandestinely conducted missionary work in the Soviet Union between 1939 and 1963.
Fifteen of these years were spent in confinement and hard labor in the Gulag, plus five preceding them[1] in Moscow's infamous Lubyanka prison. He was released and returned to the United States in 1963, after which he wrote two books, He Leadeth Me and the memoir With God in Russia, and served as a spiritual director.
Since 1990, Ciszek's life has been under consideration by the Catholic Church for beatification. As of 2023[update] his title is Servant of God.
