Who they were

Schneider was a priest of Breslau, now Wrocław, who organised help for young women coming to the city for work and founded the Congregation of the Sisters of Mary Immaculate.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The Polish Catholic news agency KAI reports sisters from Poland, Germany, Italy and Tanzania gathering at the grave of the Servant of God Fr Jan Schneider to open a Schneider Year in Wrocław in December 2013; the Holy See's nihil obstat for his cause is dated 13 July 2001.

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.
