Bolesława Lament was a Polish religious sister born in 1862 who established the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Family. After initially leaving a religious congregation due to vocational uncertainty, she worked as a seamstress to support her family. Following the death of her brother, she returned to religious life and eventually founded her own order in 1905. Her congregation expanded through Poland and Russia before she was forced to flee during the Russian Revolution. She was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1991.
