During the Romanian peasant uprising of 1784, Father John of Galeș fearlessly defended his parishioners from the Habsburg authorities. When the imperial army came to arrest the leaders, he confronted them, stating he and his flock were blameless. Despite beatings and imprisonment, he refused to betray his people or his faith. His unwavering courage and dedication to his community left an indelible mark on the hearts of those he served.

Holy Priest-Confessor John, pray to God for us!
