Roman Catholic Cardinal. Born in Stanisławów, then part of the Austrian Empire and nowadays part of Ukraine, Albin Dunajewski frequented the theological faculty of Lviv, the university and seminary of Kraków and the Collegio Romano in Rome. Working at the said university with the youth, he was the co-founder of the "Mloda Sarmacja" union statute. Accused of conspiring for being a member of the Polish Democrats, he was arrested on February 8, 1841 and sentenced to death following a protracted investigation. The court by decree of January 1, 1845 however, changed the sentence to eight years in prison and later to police supervision until the termination of the sentence. Confined to the Spielberg prison in Moravia, then part of Austria and nowadays part of the Czech Republic, he was ultimately freed by amnesty in 1848. As of the following year, he was employed in Buczacz, in present day Ukraine, as translator of the Kraków District Commission. Practicing as a notary in Kraków between 1849 and 1850, he applied to the Kraków City Tribunal. In the latter year, his home was the subject of a police search, leading him to leave his job at the Czas printing office administration and start working as secretary to Count Adam Potocki in Krzeszowice. After the death of his two successive fiancees, one due to suicide, the other victim of typhus, he resumed his ecclesiastical studies at the Seminary of Kraków, being ordained priest on July 28, 1861. Confessor at Saint Mary's church in Kraków between that same year and the following one, in 1863 he moved to the archdiocese of Warsaw in order to lecture moral theology at the local seminary of which he ultimately become rector. Honorary canon of the cathedral chapter and vicar of the nuns of the Order of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, he served as prosynodal examiner, counselor in the episcopal curia, parish vicar of Rudawa and Piasek and parish administrator of Saint Szczepan in Kraków. Referendary of latter see's curia, he was elected prince bishop of Kraków on May 15, 1879, receiving his episcopal consecration on the following June 18 at the cathedral of Kraków from Archbishop Ludovico Jacobini. Named assistant at the Pontifical Throne on August 16, 1881, Pope Leo XIII created him cardinal priest in the consistory of June 23, 1890 with the title of Ss. Vitale, Gervasio e Protasio. A charitable patron and well known social activist, he was a humble man who among others avoided the use of a carriage as was customary to his office back then. It was he who ordained to the priesthood among others, Raphael Kalinowski on the Order of Discalced Carmelites, later canonized by Pope John Paul II on November 17, 1991. Of the 77 bishops of Kraków, 62 are buried in the Wawel cathedral. Thus upon his death, Dunajewski was laid in a crypt near the the altar of the confession of Sw. Stanisław, which presently houses along with his remains, those of Bishops Marcin Szyszkowski, Jan Małachowski, Kazimierz Łubieński and Karol Skórkowski along with Cardinals Adam Sapieha and Franciszek Macharski. His casket is the one inserted furthest into the crypt.
