Who they were

Łącka was a Catholic journalist and scout imprisoned in Auschwitz, where she was known for helping fellow prisoners and giving away medicine that could have saved her; she died shortly after the war.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The Polish Catholic Information Agency (eKAI) calls her Sługa Boża (Servant of God) and reports that a register of favours is being kept for her cause and a postulator appointed.

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.
