Aloysius John Wycisło (June 17, 1908 – October 12, 2005) was an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who served as the 8th bishop of the Diocese of Green Bay, Wisconsin from 1968 to 1983. Previously he was an auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Chicago, Illinois.
Wycisło was born in 1908 to Simon and Victoria Czech Wycislo in Chicago, Illinois. He attended St. Mary Elementary School in Cicero, Illinois; Archbishop Quigley Preparatory Seminary (high school) in Chicago; Mundelein Seminary at the St. Mary of the Lake Seminary in Mundelein, Illinois; and The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C., where he earned a master's degree in social work.
He was ordained on April 7, 1934, by Cardinal George Mundelein at the University of St. Mary of the Lake. During WWII and into the 1950s, he served in Catholic War Relief Services, established refugee camps in the Middle East, India, and Africa, and later worked coordinating aid throughout Eastern and Western Europe at the request of the Polish American Relief Organization. He was among the first American priests to enter Poland after the Second World War and he reported that the postwar Polish government had forbidden mentioning the pope in the press and in Polish churches.
