Who they were

During the Second World War she gathered food supplies and first-aid kits with the scouts, worked in the ambulance service, organised help for street children and for the Warsaw insurgents, and ran clandestine teaching from 1942 to 1944; she later became a teacher and head of the state secondary school of fine arts in Jarosław.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The archdiocese of Przemyśl calls her a Servant of God; her cause received the nihil obstat on 9 November 1992 and the diocesan inquiry ran from 26 March 1993 to 20 February 1999.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
