About

Janez Frančišek Gnidovec, C.M. (29 September 1873 – 3 February 1939), was a Slovenian Roman Catholic bishop who served as the Bishop of Skopje. Gnidovec served as a pastor during World War I as a teacher and was appointed a bishop during a period of tension between Christianity and other faiths. His strong ecumenical communication skills dissipated tension and gained him both praise and recognition. Gnidovec was also a member of the Congregation of the Mission, which he joined in 1919. His cause of canonization commenced on 15 December 1977 under Pope Paul VI, and he was given the title Servan
