Saint Stanislaus Papczynski — The Life and Writings

The miracle that led to Father Founder’s beatification involved Ursula and her son Sebastian (shown here at the Mass of Beatification on September 16, 2007, in Lichen, Poland; see page 167 for the details of the miracle). Sebastian is now a healthy teen, an altar server, and a sports fan. Brother Andrew Mączyński, MIC, left, vice postulator for the Marian Causes of Canonization in the Marians’ Stockbridge, Massachusetts-based Province, had the great honor of carrying to the altar the relic of Blessed Stanislaus during the Mass of Beatification. Together with Fr. Victor Gumienny, MIC, rector of the Shrine in Licheń, Poland, he hoisted the reliquary upon a pedestal “and, just like that, we presented to the world this holy man, our Founder,” he said.
