Saint Wilhelm Kalinski

Wilhelm Kaliński (also known as Gwilhelm; pseudonym: Father Nikodem Puzyna), cathedral canon and vicar general of Vilnius (born March 6, 1747, in Warsaw; died January 20, 1789, in Vilnius), was a religious, preacher, and orator. From 1782, he was a professor at the Main School of Lithuania in Vilnius, where he held the chair of moral theology and church history. His greatest contribution to the development of Polish culture is the diary he kept from 1787 to 1788, which serves as an excellent illustration of the life of the Vilnius elite during the Enlightenment.
