Saint of the Day
St. Stanislaus
April 11th
Anyone who reads the history of Eastern Europe cannot
help but chance on the name of Stanislaus, the saintly but
tragic bishop of Kraków, patron of Poland. He is
remembered with Saints Thomas More (June 22) and
Thomas Becket (December 29) for vigorous opposition to
the evils of an unjust government.
Born in Szczepanow near Kraków on July 26, 1030, he was
ordained a priest after being educated in the cathedral
schools of Gniezno, then capital of Poland, and at Paris. He
was appointed preacher and archdeacon to the bishop of
Kraków, where his eloquence and example brought about
real conversion in many of his penitents, both clergy and
laity. He became bishop of Kraków in 1072.

1:00 pm
During an expedition against the Grand Duchy of Kiev,
Stanislaus became involved in the political situation of
Poland. Known for his outspokenness, he aimed his attacks
at the evils of the peasantry and the king, especially the
unjust wars and immoral acts of King Boleslaus II.
The king first excused himself, then made a show of
penance, then relapsed into his old ways. Stanislaus
continued his open opposition in spite of charges of treason
and threats of death, finally excommunicating the king.
The latter, enraged, ordered soldiers to kill the bishop.
When they refused, the king killed him with his own hands.
