Blessed Pavol Peter Gojdic, O.S.B.M. (1888–1960), was a Slovak Greek Catholic bishop. Born in Ruske Peklany, he was ordained a priest in 1911 and later entered the Order of Saint Basil the Great. As bishop of Presov, he defended the rights of the Greek Catholic Church under communist rule and endured imprisonment rather than abandon his flock. He died in prison on July 17, 1960. Pope John Paul II beatified him on November 4, 2001.
