Although Father Heyke's works were rarely published during the period of Communist rule, his life and writings now enjoy their proper place in Kashubian culture. In 2005 the Kashubian Institute of Gdańsk sponsored a conference on Father Heyke entitled Świętopełk literatury kaszubskiej ("Swiantopolk of Kashubian Literature"), a reference to the revered Kashubian historical figure Swietopelk II, Duke of Pomerania. The conference proceedings have been published under the same title. Father Heyke published under the nom de plume Stanisław Czernicki.

Kashubian priest, teacher, playwright & poet.

Ordained a Roman Catholic priest on March 13, 1910 in Pelplin.

Arrested by the Germans in the town of Wda and executed with other clergy and intellectuals on October 15 (1939) in the Szpęgawski Forest near Starogard Gdański.
