(Catholic Online) Blessed Honoratus Kozminski was born in Biala Podlaska (Poland, Siedice) and studied architecture at the School of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
When Wenceslaus was almost 16 yrs of age his father passed away. Suspected of of participating in a rebellious conspiracy, the young man was imprisoned from April 1846 until the following March. In 1848 he received the Capuchin habit and a new name–four years later he was ordained.
In 1855 he helped Blessed Mary Angela Truszkowska establish the Felician Sisters.
Honoratus served as Guardian in a Warsaw friary, dedicating his energies to ministering, to giving spiritual direction and to hearing confessions, he worked tirelessly with the Secular Franciscan Order.
