After finishing his courses in Jesuit and Piarist Colleges, he joined the Piarist Order in 1654. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1661. He became famous as a gifted educator of youth, illustrious preacher, wise spiritual director, and also as an author of works on spirituality and rhetoric. In 1673 he founded the first Marian monastery in Puszcza Korabiewska, known today as Puszcza Mariaƒska. He was the first to found in the Church a male Order dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, nearly two centuries before the proclamation of this dogma. Father Papczyƒski assigned three goals to his new Order: promulgation of devotion to the Immaculate Conception of the B.V.M., prayerful assistance to Poor Souls in Purgatory, and pastoral ministry, especially among people lacking pastoral guidance. He died in the opinion of holiness on September 17, 1701, in Góra Kalwaria near Warsaw. His remains were laid to rest at the Church of the Cenacle of Our Lord. On September 16, 2007, the Church proclaimed him Blessed. F ROM THE WRITINGS OF B L . S TANISLAUS Are you sad? Call Jesus and He will comfort you. Are you attacked? Call Jesus and He will defend you.
