Who they were

In the prison camp of Dachau near Munich in Bavaria in Germany, Blessed Boniface Zukowski, priest of the Order of Friars Minor Conventual and martyr, who, during the war, worn down by the tortures he suffered for his faith and confined in prison, brought his martyrdom to completion.

The miracles

As a martyr he was raised to the altars without a miracle.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 10 April as a Conventual Franciscan priest and martyr who died in wartime imprisonment after torture for his faith.

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.
