The Ulma family, who sheltered Jews in Poland during World War II and were killed by Nazis, were beatified on Sunday. Wiktoria Ulma's unborn child was also included.
The Catholic Church beatified a Polish family thatThe Latin formula of the Ulma family's beatification was signed by Pope Francis in August. A Mass tookwhere Cardinal Marcello Semeraro said that the family"paid the highest price of martyrdom" because of their"gesture of hospitality and care, of mercy."
Farmer Jozef Ulma, 44, and his 31-year-old pregnant wife Wiktoria were murdered on March 24, 1944, along with their children: Stanislawa, Maria, Barbara, Wladyslaw, Antoni, Franciszek and Wiktoria's unborn child. The children's ages ranged from 7 years to 18 months old.
The next step after beatification is canonization, in which the beatified are declared to be saints. A miracle credited to the Ulmas’ intercession would be required for sainthood.
