Saint John Canzio from Kety

Born in Kety on an unspecified date of the year 1397 and died in Krakow on December 24, 1473, he was a Polish presbyter and theologian.

Having become a doctor of philosophy at the age of 27, he dedicated his life to teaching and preaching.

At 34 he was ordained a priest, continuing his teaching career for a few more years.

As soon as he received the office of parish priest in Olkusz, he immediately became admired for his being a recognized model of piety and charity towards his neighbor.

In 1440 he resumed teaching in Krakow, contributing to the education of Prince Casimir.

A valid teacher and friend of the weakest, he earned the consideration of a saint from his faithful, who were moved by his lessons of love held between the poor and the sick.

He died during the Christmas Mass of 1473 and was made a saint by Clement XIII in 1767.
