Blessed Hanna Helena Chrzanowska

Blessed Hanna Helena Chrzanowska, born on October 7, 1902, in Warsaw, Poland, was a lay woman who dedicated her life to nursing and caring for others. She was the daughter of Ignacy Chrzanowski, a university professor, and Wanda Szlenkier. While her family had a strong tradition of charity, religious involvement at home was not prominent due to their mixed Catholic and Protestant background.
