Magdalena Mortęska
Benedictine abbess of Chełmno and reformer of Polish Benedictine nuns
Who they were
She was abbess of the Benedictine convent at Chełmno from 1579 to 1631 and reformer of the Chełmno congregation of 22 convents, known for founding schools for girls.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Diocese of Toruń names her Servant of God and records that Bishop Andrzej Suski, having appointed a postulator, censors and a historical commission in December 2015, established the diocesan tribunal and opened her beatification process at Lubawa on 3 July 2016.
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.
