Bolesława

Bolesława Maria Lament (3 July 1862 – 29 January 1946) was a Polish religious sister and the founder of the Missionary Sisters of the Holy Family. Lament worked as a seamstress and soon joined a religious congregation though left just prior to her profession upon experiencing vocational doubts; she returned to her life as a seamstress and worked with two of her sisters to support their siblings and widowed mother. The death of her seminarian brother prompted her to return to the religious life – Honorat Koźmiński encouraged this return – and she later founded a congregation that soon spread and took her to Russia though its revolution forced her departure during World War I. Pope John Paul II beatified Lament while in Poland in 1991.

Theologians approved the Positio on 5 October 1990 as did the Congregation for the Causes of Saints on 4 December 1990; Pope John Paul II confirmed her heroic virtue and named her as venerable.

John Paul II confirmed the miracle as being due to her intercession on 14 May 1991 and beatified Lament while on his apostolic visit to Poland on 5 June 1991.
