Mid- 1945, his father was captured by the Russian NKVD and was dead a month later; Stanislaus’ mother had died a month before his father died. Suddenly, Stanislaw was an orphaned five-year-old child. He and his three older brothers (Yevgeni b. 1933; Yezhi b. 1936; Anatol b. 1938) were moved by train into central-western Poland and reared in an orphanage run by Catholic nuns in Gniezno.

In 1982 he was appointed administrator of the parish of Witaszyce, and after a few months the parish priest of St. James in Mogilno (until 1994) and Saint John in Mogilno (until 1998).
