Celine Borzecka

Celine Chludzińska Borzęcka (29 October 1833 – 26 October 1913) was a Roman Catholic professed religious and the co-foundress - along with her daughter Jadwiga Borzęcka - of the Sisters of the Resurrection.

Borzęcka desired the religious life but married in obedience to her parents and bore four children; two died as infants.

After her husband's death, she chose to follow the spiritual path with her daughter at her side and began a life in community in Rome.

Borzęcka's beatification cause was opened under Pope Paul VI on 10 April 1964 and Pope Benedict XVI beatified her on 27 October 2007.
