Jan Góra

Jan Wojciech Góra OP (8 February 1948 – 21 December 2015) was a Dominican, Roman Catholic Priest, Doctor of Theology, academic and chaplain.

During the winter of 1992, he set up the "Dom Świętego Jacka" – a chaplaincy centre on the Jamna Mountain near Tarnów.

Since that time youth meetings by the Fish-Gate have taken place, initially on the Eve of Pentecost and now on the first Saturday of June.

[6] Father Jan Góra propagates the idea of Small Nations, works closely with many Catholic and cultural publications and publishing houses.

After a TV commercial with his participation was broadcast by TVP3 Poznań, Góra explained that he did not recommend Alexandrowicz, but gave him references because he had known him for 28 years.

Góra caused consternation in the authorities of the Dominican order with his participation in the election campaign.

[8] As a result, the Lednica meetings, as well as Jan Góra himself, were accused of disturbing the "purity of the liturgy" and of "non-liturgical behavior".
