Edmund Bojanowski (14 November 1814 - 7 August 1871) was a Polish Roman Catholic and the founder of four separate religious congregations.

[1][2] He studied art and literature during his education in Breslau and Berlin before distinguishing himself during a cholera epidemic in which he tended to the ill. Bojanowski founded several orphanages and libraries for the poor and even worked in them to provide for those people.

[1][3] His beatification cause opened decades after his death and culminated on 13 June 1999 after Pope John Paul II beatified him in Warsaw on the occasion of his apostolic visit to the nation.

[2] In 1819 he became ill and appeared to die but seemed to return to life a short while later despite doctors declaring that there were slim chances the child would recover.

[1] He deemed service to the poor as an important task and due to this was able to found a religious order of nuns known as called the Congregation of the Sisters Servants of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mother of God.

[3][1][2] Bojanowski later decided to attempt an education for the priesthood once more in 1869 in Gniezno; but his health continued to deteriorate to the point where he later died 7 August 1871 in Górka Duchowna without becoming ordained as a priest as he had wished for.

[1] Bojanowski either founded or co-founded four separate religious congregations: The beatification process opened in Poznań some decades after his death and was closed at a solemn Mass that Archbishop Antoni Baraniak led on 24 October 1960.

The Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted their validation to this diocesan investigation on 8 March 1991 prior to receiving the Positio dossier for additional assessment later in 1996.
