Walenty Bal (1920-2002): Priest – Educator – Patriot

The Image of the Spiritual Stored in Memory

Abstract

Every environment has extraordinary figures, authorities who are respected, admired, bestowed with great respect and also a certain social love, and even glorified in some sense, and what is very important, who set high moral and ethical standards and in moments of doubt and difficulty, clearly show how to live and act, so as not to lose humanity but always to rise to the heights of altruism and the highest moral standards. The period of communist enslavement was a very difficult time for Poles, but fortunately there were beautiful people, among whom was Father Walenty Bal, who always knew how to live and act, so as to protect and nurture humanity, education, patriotism and the highest values. Father Bal is an extraordinary man, an extraordinary teacher, priest and patriot, who will remain for the people of Rzeszów forever someone who was able to raise themselves and others to these very heights and for which people are universally grateful to him.
