"Aloysius J. Wycislo was born in Chicago on June 17, 1908 and ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Chicago in 1934. After serving with the Catholic Charities for the Chicago Archdiocese, he was appointed to what later would become Catholic Relief Services.
In 1962, Bishop Wycislo attended the opening session of the Second Vatican Council and would attend all four sessions of the Council from 1962 to 1965. Letters from Rome During Vatican II are the letters Bishop Wycislo wrote from Rome during Vatican II Council to his parishoners at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Chicago.
In 1968 Pope Paul VI appointed him bishop of the Green Bay, Wisconsin diocese where he served until his retirement in 1983. A close personal friend of Pope John Paul II, he was active in many ecumenical and liturgical affairs.
Following retirement as bishop of the Green Bay diocese, Bishop Wycislo began his writing career that would include Vatican II Revisited; A Talk with the Pastor; Those Who Knew Jesus; Saint Peter and his fifth and final book Letters from Rome During Vatican II that was completed just one week before his death on October 11, 2005."
