Bishop Dominik Kalata in 1999

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

Kalata died on 23 August 2018 in Ivanka pri Dunaji, Slovakia.[2]
