Bl. Anthony Leszczewicz

On Feb. 17 and 18, 1943, two Marian priests chose to die rather than abandon those in their care. They are Blessed Anthony Leszczewicz and Blessed George Kaszyra.

It is said that there were more martyrs in the 20th century than in all centuries of Christian history combined. Here are two of them, on their feast day, June 12, both Marian priests.

Two heroes of our Marian religious community, Blessed Anthony Leszczewicz and Blessed George Kaszyra, lived and died as witnesses to Christ's love. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, shares their powerful witness. Then hear the story of Harmel Academy in Kent County, Michigan, a unique community of young Catholic men who combine spiritual formation with hands-on trades education.
