Ignacy Stanisław Czyżewski (5 December 1753 – 11 December 1823) was a bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sejny.

Biography[edit]

Czyżewski was born in Kalisz.[1] On 26 August 1767, he was ordained a Jesuit priest;[2] he later attended Jagellonian University, where he received doctorates in law & canon law.[3] He was later made regent of the chancellory of the diocese of Kujawy, by orders of its bishop, Józef Ignacy Rybiński. On 26 April 1787, he was made a canon of the cathedral of Włocławek.[4]

In 1820, Czyżewski was appointed coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Sejny by Jan Klemens Gołaszewski.[5] After Gołaszewski's death, Czyżewski was appointed bishop of Sejny on 19 May 1820; he was consecrated on 6 August of the same year by Adam Michał Prażmowski, the bishop of Płock, assisted by Feliks Łukasz Lewiński and Józef Marcelin Dzięcielski.[2] He died on 11 December 1823 in Warsaw.[5]
