Biography

Straszyński was born in Krasnystaw. He attended the seminary there until 1805 and was ordained a priest on 25 January 1807 by Wojciech Józef Skarszewski. After his ordination, he served as a parish priest in Trzeszczany and Kumów Plebański.[1] He was made a honorary canon of the cathedral chapter in Lublin in 1810 and was appointed a canon of the same chapter in 1822. After moving with Wojciech Skarszewski to 1823 to Warsaw,[2] Straszyński was awarded a honorary doctorate from Jagellonian University on 15 February 1825 and was appointed canon of the cathedral chapter of Warsaw in 1826. He was later appointed vice-custodian and procurator of the cathedral chapter of Warsaw in 1829.[1]

On 16 October 1833, Straszyński was elected vicar capitular of the Archdiocese of Warsaw.[1] He was appointed bishop of the Diocese of Augustów on 21 November 1836; he was consecrated on 8 January 1837 in the Archcathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist in Warsaw by Franciszek Pawłowski, co-consecrated by Mateusz Maurycy Wojakowski and Konstanty Wincenty Plejewski.[3] He died on 21 June 1847 and was buried in the cathedral in Sejny.[1][2]
