(ANS – Krakow) – On 19 November the Postulator General of the Salesian Family, Fr Enrico dal Covolo was received by the Archbishop of Krakow, Cardinal Stanisław Dziwisz. Among matters dealt with in their cordial meeting were the causes beatification and canonisation of Jan Leopold Tyranowski, a lay man, and Fr Jan Swierc and companions.

The Postulator wasa accompanied by the Vice Provincial Fr Dariusz Bartocha, and the Vice Postulator of the cause of beatification and canonisation of Tyranowski, the Salesian Fr Adam Nyk.

In the troubled times of the Second World war Jan Tyranowski (1901-1947) was a valued co-worker in the “St Stanislaw Kostka” Salesian parish in Krakow. At that time because of the Nazi persecution the parish of Debniki, in Krakow was almost entirely without priests. In these same years the Servant of God played a fundamental role in the story of the vocation of Karol Wojtyla, the future John Paul II. He had founded the “Living Rosary” Group  from among whose numbers many priestly and religious vocations emerged including that of the young Karol.

In the course of the audience with the Archbishop the Postulator spoke, in addition to the cause  of Tyranowski – since last year entrusted to the Salesian Postulator’s Office –, about the diocesan enquiry regarding Fr Jan Swierc and his  companions in Krakow, martyred in 1942.
