Biography
Blessed Józef Stanek, also known as Father Józef Stanek, was born on 4 December 1916 in Lapsze Nizne, Poland. He was baptized at the tender age of one day and tragically orphaned at the age of six. Despite these early challenges in life, Józef received a solid education at a Pallottine school in Wadowice, Poland. It was during this time that his spiritual calling began to take shape.
