Under international pressure, Cieplak was released from prison and taken to Poland in 1924. After reaching Poland, he left for Rome and then to the United States. He began his tour of the United States in 1925. During that time, "he visited 375 parishes and 800 institutions in 25 dioceses."  He visited with Chicago's Polish Community at St. Hyacinth Basilica. On 10 November 1925, he arrived in Passaic, New Jersey. He visited the Polish community of Syracuse, New York in early 1926, where he spoke to the parishioners of Sacred Heart Church. He died of an illness in Dąbrowa Górnicza a few months later.
In 1925 Cieplak was nominated to serve as the Archbishop of Wilno (Vilnius), but he died before he was able to assume the position. He was interred in the Vilnius Cathedral.
