Teofilius Matulionis
1873–1962 (age 89)
Biography
Teofilius Matulionis shepherded his flock with unshakable faith at the turn of the century, resisting Soviet attempts to suppress the Church and enduring imprisonment rather than renounce his spiritual convictions.
His life of witness, later recognized with beatification, continues to inspire Catholics around Lithuania and beyond, and his grave in Kaišiadorys remains a place of quiet reverence.
