Angela Truszkowska
Angela Truszkowska (May 16, 1825 - October 10, 1899) was an unusually pious Polish nun who has been beatified by the Roman Catholic Church. Foundress of the Felician Sisters, she forged one of the first active-contemplative communities that, nearly a century and a half later, would grow to include more than 1,800 vowed Sisters over four continents serving in an array of ministries.
==Life==
Sophia Camille Truszkowska was born in Kalisz, Poland in 1825, the eldest of seven children of Joseph and Josephine Rudziñska Truszkowska. Her days as a young student were characterized by schoolwork and reading, as well as daily Mass, and adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. At the same time, her compassion for the underprivileged grew as she gained invaluable insight into the social ills and issues of her time from her father, a juvenile court judge.〔("Blessed Mary Angels", Felician Sisters of North America )〕 When Sophia was twelve years old, her father was appointed Registrar of Deeds, and the family moved to Warsaw.〔
At the age of sixteen, Sophia contracted tuberculosis.〔(Foley O.F.M., Leonard. "Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska", ''Saint of the Day, Lives, Lessons and Feast'', (revised by Pat McCloskey O.F.M.), Franciscan Media )〕 The family physician recommended a rest in Switzerland to restore her health. After a year, Sophia returned to Warsaw and left boarding school in order to study privately at home. With access to her father’s vast library collection, she continued her study of Latin and her already fluent knowledge of French. She also pursued studies in contemporary philosophy, ethics, and social thought.〔
At one point, Sophia had considered joining a cloistered community of Sisters, but soon joined the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and began ministering as a lay woman to the abandoned children and homeless on the streets of Warsaw. In time, she opened a shelter to give comfort and aid to this vulnerable population. At the suggestion of her spiritual director, Capuchin Franciscan Father Honorat Kozminski, she joined the secular Third Order of St. Francis, taking the name of Angela.〔 In 1855 she rented a small house near the Church of the Virgin Mary for the orphaned girls and elderly women whom she gathered off the streets.〔("Blessed Mary Angela", Museum and Archives of Mary Angela Truszkoska )〕 It became known as the "Institute of Miss Truszkowska".〔
