Who they were

Franciszek Miśka, born at Świerczyniec on 5 December 1898, made his theological studies at Turin, where he was ordained priest in 1927, and served in Salesian institutes and parishes in several parts of Poland until he was put in charge of the Salesian institute at Ląd. Arrested and taken through several prison camps, he was deported to Dachau on 30 October 1941 and died there on 30 June 1942. He was beatified on 6 June 2026 by Pope Leo XIV.

The miracles

The source does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

Head of the Salesian institute at Ląd, he was arrested, deported to Dachau and died there.

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.
