Franciszek Blachnicki as KL-Auschwitz prisoner, KL Number 1201, 1940
Franciszek Blachnicki (Polish:[frant͡ɕiʂɛkblaxɲit͡skʲi]ⓘ; 24 March 1921 – 27 February 1987) was a Polish Roman Catholic priest and the founder of the Light-Life movement – also known as the Oasis Movement – and the Secular Institute of the Immaculate Mother of the Church.[1] He founded several other movements and religious congregations that would address a range of social and ethical issues. These issues included anti-alcoholism and human rights.[2][3] His movements first came about after starting out as simple retreats designed for both altar servers and families that later began to address a series of issues in Poland at the time.[1] His concern for human rights came during the communist era in Poland as well as his experiences as a prisoner of war during World War II in which he was incarcerated in Auschwitz and other concentration camps under the German Nazi regime.[3][2]
Blachnicki's beatification process opened in Poland in the 1990s and he became titled as a Servant of God upon the cause's commencement. The decisive moment in the process came on 30 September 2015 after Pope Francis confirmed his heroic virtue and titled him as Venerable.[1]
