Franciszek Blachnicki (24 March 1921 – 27 February 1987)[1] was a Roman Catholic priest who started the Light-Life Movement (Światło-Życie).

Life

He was ordained to the priesthood on 25 June 1950.

The Roman Catholic Church has started the process of his beatification and on 30 September 2015 he was proclaimed to be Venerable after Pope Francis recognized that Blachnicki had lived a model Christian life of heroic virtue.
