Saint Stanislaus

<p>Stanislaus was born in Szczepanòw, Poland, about 1030. He was educated in Poland and Paris and in 1072 became Bishop of Cracow. He was well-known for his care of the poor. He differed with the king, Boleslav, who killed Stanislaus during the celebration of Mass. The king later fled to relatives in Hungary, where he spent his life as a penitent in a Benedictine abbey. Stanislaus was canonized in 1253 and is one of the patrons of Poland.©2011 <em>Living with Christ, </em>Novalis - Bayard Press Canada Inc., <strong>http://www.livingwithchrist.ca/</strong&gt;.
