Summary/Abstract: The article presents the life and work of Fr. Lucjan Łuszczki (1910-1991) a Polish monk who was active in South America, latterly as Rector of the Polish Catholic Mission in Argentina where he oversaw the Millennium celebrations of Poland’s Christianity (1966) and the pastoral visit of Bishop Władysław Rubin (1968).
