Jadwiga Jaroszewska (Mother Wincenta of the Passion of the Lord)
Polish nun who founded the Benedictine Samaritan Sisters of the Cross of Christ
Who they were
She founded the Benedictine Samaritan Sisters of the Cross of Christ, who ran homes for girls and women in need.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
Cardinal Jozef Glemp, Primate of Poland, opened her diocesan process in Warsaw on 15 December 1992 and closed it in 1996; Pope Francis authorised the decree on her heroic virtues on 18 March 2015, giving her the title Venerable.
The cause
Jadwiga Jaroszewska (Mother Wincenta of the Passion of the Lord) has been declared Venerable; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Jadwiga Jaroszewska (Mother Wincenta of the Passion of the Lord).
