Stanisław Wiórek was a Polish theologian and member of the Congregation of the Mission who lived from 1912 to 1939. After studying in Kraków and Rome, he was ordained in 1938 and returned to Poland to begin his ministry in Bydgoszcz. His life was cut short during the early stages of the Second World War when he was caught in a random rounding-up of hostages by Nazi forces. He was executed alongside a fellow priest in the city's Old Market Square, making him a martyr of the Catholic Church.
