[1] Her life was dedicated to the care of ill people and she even spent a long period to that end in Israel and Palestine before returning to her native Poland where she became a close collaborator of Honorat Kozminski.

To strengthen her faith and love for God in 1870 she undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land; this moved her to a profound degree and her experience prompted her to dedicate her life to help the poor and the ill as well as the old.

[2] Her trip to the Middle East was via boat to Haifa and then first to Jerusalem; she spent time living in Nazareth and left there in 1872 for Poland though making a brief detour as a pilgrim to Loreto.

The first step she made was to invite two poor and sick elder women to live in her apartment in 1880 and she was taking care of them in secret because charitable or church activities were forbidden according to the decrees of the Russian Emperor who at the time ruled over Poland.

[2] Ecclesial authorities granted special permission on 16 November 1931 for her remains to be moved to Oswiecim and interred in the congregation's corresponding church but were relocated on two other occasions on 18 January 1951 and 22 February 2013.

[citation needed] The miracle that led to her beatification was the 1975 cure of a nun from a severe case of pneumonia; this was investigated on a diocesan level and it received validation on 22 January 1999 before medical experts approved it on 23 February 2012.
