Memorandum
In conclusion, in our study we wanted to evoke the personality of Dr. Aurel LeluŃiu,
Priest and teacher, who has truly a life dedicated United Church (Greek Catholic) and the
Romanian people. The humble priest Aurel LeluŃiu suffered in prison without
succumbing to the pressures made for the transition to Orthodoxy. The Great Creator had
endowed with a soul and a unique personality and spiritual qualities, being a model
servant of hispeople, a fighter for national identity.
