] Blessed Raphael Kalinowski of St. Joseph, a Polish
] Discalced Carmelite, was canonized November 17 1991 by
] Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Basilica. He is held by
] many to be the precursor of and model for the modern lay
] apostolate and as an architect of peace, culture and
] unity among Christians. We celebrate St. Raphael
] Kalinowski's feast day on November 19th.

This is the first I've heard of an actual feast day for him. I'm also blogging this since it's got the most detailed (online) biography I've found about my great-uncle thus far.

I'm still trying to track down information on the (minimum) 2 miracles that have to be documented for someone to be sainted. As I understand it, these things are supposed to be investigated very thoroughly, but I have not yet been able to find much information on them.

It's been an eye-opening investigation though. Normally I surf through webpages of art and math and science and cryptology. I haven't before had a reason to surf through religious webpages, but there's actually quite a bit of interesting stuff out there.

] Raffaele Kalinowski, O.C.D. (1835-1907)

I figured this would be an appropriate thing to blog for this Easter weekend... From the Vatican website, a painting of my great-great-grandfather's brother, born Joseph Kalinowski. Mathematics teacher, railway engineer, Minister of War, royal tutor, Priest, and as of 1991 by the order of Pope John Paul II, Saint.
