Bl. Maria Antonina Kratochwil

Maria Anna Kratochwil was born in 1881 at Vítkovice, Ostrava, in Moravia. She became a School Sister of Notre Dame, taking the name Maria Antonina.

During the Second World War she was imprisoned for her faith at Stanisławów (now Ivano-Frankivsk in Ukraine), and she died there under torture in 1942. John Paul II beatified her in 1999 among the 108 Polish martyrs of the Second World War.

The cited source gives only these basic facts.

Maria Antonina Kratochwil was beatified in 1881.

Beatification allows public veneration, usually in a particular region or religious family. Canonization extends it to the whole Church.
