Who they were

He was the confessor and first spiritual director of St Faustina Kowalska, oversaw the painting of the Divine Mercy image by Adolf Hyła and promoted the Divine Mercy devotion in the 1940s.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The beatification process of the Servant of God Fr Józef Andrasz SJ officially began on 1 February 2025 in Kraków, promoted by the Southern Poland Province of the Society of Jesus.

The cause

Józef Andrasz is named a Servant of God; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Józef Andrasz.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
