Father Michał Sopoćko was born on November 1st,1888 in

Juszewszczyzna (known also as Nowosady) in Oszmiana

district. After graduating municipal school in Oszmiana, he

joined the Theological Seminary in Vilnius in 1910 and

received the sacrament of his Holy Orders in 1914. His first

parish was Taboryszki, where he performed his pastoral duties

in the years 1914-1918. In 1918 he went to Warsaw to study

moral theology at the Department of Theology of the Warsaw

University. In 1923 he received his master’s degree and in 1926

his doctoral degree in theology.

In the years 1922-1924 he also studied at the Higher

Pedagogical Institute while performing the duties of

military chaplain. In 1924 Fr Sopoćko was

appointed Head of the Military Chaplaincy for the

Vilnius Region and returned to his own diocese

where he remained until 1929. In 1927 he was also

appointed spiritual father and confessor of the

seminary In Vilnus and in 1928 he became the

Head of the Department of Pastoral Theology at the

Batory University. In 1932 he withdrew from his

spiritual activities to devote himself to scientific

work. He received his post-doctoral degree in 1934

at the Pastoral Theology Department of the Warsaw

University. He received a positive opinion for the

title of professor , however he did not get the

nomination due to financial difficulties existing at the

Theological Faculty of the Batory University. He carried on

educational and scientific work up to the closure of the

University and Seminary during World War II. His scientific

achievements from this period revealed in numerous

publications on pastoral theology, homiletics, catechetics and

pedagogy. He also wrote numerous studies on popular religious

and social issues.

During the German occupation, he managed to avoid arrest and

for two and a half years was hid in the vicinity of Vilnius. In

1944 - activity was resumpt of the Seminary in Vilnius, he

taught there until it was closed in 1945 by the Soviet authorities

and he was relegated to Bialystok. In the meantime he was

performing pastoral ministry at the church of St. John,

catechized, secretly organized catechetical courses. Threatened

with arrest for this activity, he left in 1947 Bialystok. Here he

gave lectures at the Seminary in his specialties: pedagogy,

catechetics, homiletics, pastoral theology, ascetic theology, he

also taught Latin and Russian. An important part of his post-war

activities within the Anti-Alcohol Social Committee was his

educational programmes promoting sobriety in a society. In the

years 1951-1958 he organized a series of monthly and annual

catechetical courses for nuns and lay people. In the 50s and 60s

also organized public lectures on religion at the parish church in

Bialystok. In 1962, he retired, but devoted himself

to pastoral work at the chapel of the Missionary

Sisters of St. Family in Poleska Street, which he had

expanded in 1957. He also made efforts to build a

church in Wiejska Street in Bialystok. Almost to the

end of his days he participated actively in the life of

the diocese, worked scientifically and published his

work. He died in the house of the Missionary Sisters

in Poleska Street on February 15, 1975.

Father Michał Sopocko devoted his all life to God

and the Church. He was a man of extraordinary zeal

for the glory of God which expressed in his

numerous activities, rooted in a deep spiritual life. The diversity

of his work was astonishing. He was a spiritual leader of a

parish, a catechist, an organizer of education, a teacher, a

lecturer at the University and Seminary, spiritual father,

confessor of seminarians, priests and nuns, army chaplain, anti-

alcohol activist, a builder of churches. However, in his life full

of various activities, dominant and most beautiful path was the

service to the idea of Divine Mercy., He is undoubtedly entitled

to the honorable title of Apostle of Divine Mercy, beside St.

Faustina Kowalska. As her confessor and spiritual director

during the Vilnius period, inspired by her revelations, he

devoted himself completely to spreading the truth and Divine

Mercy cult. He published a number of works on Divine Mercy,

sought to establish the feast, helped to paint the first picture of

the Most Merciful Savior Jesus and co-founded the religious

congregation of the Sisters of Merciful Jesus. Recognizing his

extremely zealous service to God and the Church in the

priesthood and the sanctity of his life, in 1987 Fr. Sopoćko’s

beatification process was initiated on the diocesan level, which

lasted until 1993. In 2002, the documentation of the process,

along with an extensive biography of Fr. Sopoćko, compiled in

the „Positio”, was forwarded to the Congregation for the

Causes of Saints in Rome. In 2004 the commission of

theologians appointed by the Congregation positively assessed

the Positio and then commission of cardinals affirmed the

judgment of the theologians. Following this work of the

Congregation on 20th December, 2004 in Vatican in the

presence of the Holy Father the decree on the heroic virtues of

the Servant of God was officially announced. In December 2007

at the Vatican a miracle was approved through the intercession

of the Servant of God. The solemn beatification of Fr. Michał

Sopocko took place on 28th September 2008 at the Shrine of

Divine Mercy, where the mortal remains of the Blessed rest in

peace.

Our Lady said to Lucia, “I shall come to ask that on the

at every moment by their blasphemies and ingratitude.

Do you, at least, strive to console me. Tell them that I

promise to assist at the hour of death with the graces

necessary for salvation all those who, in order to make

reparation to me, on the First Saturday of five

Communion, say five decades of the Rosary, and keep

me company for a quarter of an hour, meditating on the

fifteen mysteries of the Rosary.”
