Who they were

Wanda Malczewska was a Polish laywoman who taught village children to read, trained in basic medicine to nurse the sick and organised a hospital for the wounded during the January Uprising, spending her last years at Parzno.

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

The informative process began in 1929 and was resumed by the archdiocese of Łódź, which now calls her Venerable Servant of God after the decree on her heroic virtues.

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.
