Rev. Frederick Ciesla, C.R.'s Obituary
Father Fred Ciesla, 93, died peacefully at Maryhaven in Glenview, Illinois, on January 28. He was a member of the Congregation of the Resurrection since his first vows in 1942 and a priest since 1949. Admired by many thousands of students at Archbishop Weber and Gordon Tech High Schools where he served as an instructor of Theology for nearly 50 years, Father Fred spent his entire apostolic career as a teacher. He also served as an assistant principal. But his greatest love was music and his devotion was directed to the school choir, band, and glee club. He is survived by his sister Irene (Ed) Godek and other loving relatives.
His remains will lie in State at the Church of St. Stanislaus Bishop & Martyr, at 2300 North Lorel Avenue, on Saturday, January 30, from 9:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., at which time the Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated. Interment will occur immediately after at St. Adalbert Cemetery, Niles, Illinois.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Congregation of the Resurrection Senior Religious Fund, 3601 North California Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60618.
For further information please call 312-421-0936.
