Saint Zygmunt Szczesny Felinski was a Polish archbishop, founder, and defender of the dignity of the human person. Born in Wojutyn, he entered the priesthood and became known for his learning, prayer, and concern for the poor and oppressed.
As Archbishop of Warsaw, he defended the Church and the suffering people of Poland during a period of political upheaval. For his pastoral courage he was exiled for many years, which he accepted in a spirit of obedience and sacrifice. He died in Kraków on September 17, 1895, and was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009.
