Who they were

In the prison camp of Dachau near Munich in Bavaria in Germany, Blessed Władysław Mączkowski, priest and martyr, who, Polish by origin, was deported during the war and, before the persecutors of human dignity and of Christianity, defended his faith amid tortures until death.

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 20 August as a Polish priest martyred at Dachau.

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.
