Zygmunt Gorazdowski was a Polish Roman Catholic priest who lived from 1845 to 1920. Born in Sanok, he overcame childhood tuberculosis to pursue his religious calling after initially studying law in Lviv. Throughout his ministry, he dedicated himself to serving marginalized populations, including orphans, single mothers, and the impoverished. He is widely recognized for establishing numerous charitable institutions, such as hospices, soup kitchens, and healthcare centers, and for founding the Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1884. He was canonized as a saint by Pope Benedict XVI in 2005.
