Who they were

A priest of Kielce, director of the Pontifical Mission Societies there, who founded the women's Secular Institute of Christ the King. Santi e Beati gives his birth as 18 January 1902; the Hagiography Circle's 1929 is not compatible with his career and is not followed.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The nihil obstat came on 16 March 2006 and the diocesan process opened on 2 December 2006.

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.
