Who they were

Near Kraków in Poland, Blessed Bronislava, virgin of the Premonstratensian Order, who wished to lead a humble and hidden life and, after the Tartars had destroyed her monastery, lived alone with God in a hut.

The miracles

The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 29 August as a Premonstratensian virgin who lived alone with God in a hut after the Tartars destroyed her monastery.

The cause

Bronislava of Poland has been beatified; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Norbertine Sisters of Krakow: Blessed Bronislava.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
