Archbishop Monsignor Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz (Belarusian: Тадэвуш Кандрусевіч, b. January 3, 1946, Odelsk, Hrodna Raion, Belarus) is the Belarusian Roman Catholic Archbishop of Minsk and Mahilyow, Belarus.
Born as Tadeusz Kondrusiewicz to an ethnic Polish family, he was the elder of the two children of Ignacy Kondrusiewicz (1906–1985) and his wife Anna (née Szusta; 1911–1999). His sister was the late Maria Kondrusiewicz Buro (1949–1997). In 1962, after completing his secondary schooling, he entered the Department of Physics and Mathematics at the Hrodna Pedagogical Institute (teachers' training college), which he had to leave a year later because of his practice of Catholicism.
In 1964, he entered the Department of Energetics and Machinery Construction at the Leningrad Polytechnical Institute (now known as the Saint Petersburg Polytechnical University). He graduated in 1970, becoming a mechanical engineer. He worked in Vilnius, Lithuania (then part of the USSR).
In 1976, aged 30, he entered Kaunas Priest Seminary and was ordained priest on May 31, 1981. He served as (assistant) curate in a number of parishes in Lithuania. On February 13, 1988, he was appointed parish priest of the parishes of Our Lady of Angels and St. Francis Xavier in Hrodna, Belarus.
