Dominik Kalata
Dominik Kalata, SJ, (19 May 1925 in Nowa Biała – 23 August 2018) was a Slovak Catholic prelate who served as a titular Bishop of Semta.[1]
Kalata was ordained a Catholic priest on 12 August 1951 and clandestinely as a bishop on 9 September 1955 by Ján Chryzostom Korec, SJ,[1] because of the Communist government of Czechoslovakia and its persecution of the Catholic Church. On 16 March 1985 he was officially appointed a titular bishop.[1]
Kalata died on 23 August 2018 in Ivanka pri Dunaji, Slovakia.[2]
