The cause

Zbigniew Strzałkowski has been beatified; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Franciscans: Blessed Zbigniew Strzalkowski, martyr of Pariacoto.

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