Who they were

Franciszek Harazim, born at Osiny on 22 August 1885, trained in the Salesian houses of study in Poland and at Ivrea, where he was ordained priest in 1915, and returned home to teach in Salesian schools and in the Salesian major seminary of Kraków. Arrested on 23 May 1941 and held in the Montelupich prison, he was taken to the camp at Auschwitz, where he died on 26 June 1941 from beatings and ill-treatment. He was beatified on 6 June 2026 by Pope Leo XIV.

A Salesian teacher of the Kraków seminary, he was taken to Auschwitz and died there of beatings and ill-treatment.

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.
