: A Glimpse into an Extraordinary Life

In the annals of history, certain individuals emerge as beacons of hope, illuminating the darkness with their unwavering faith, compassion, and selfless sacrifice. Little Sister Maria Teresa Tomasza Cichawa, more affectionately known as Little Sister Tomasz, stands as one such luminary, leaving an indelible mark on the world through her extraordinary life and unwavering dedication to humanity.

Born in 1906 in the picturesque Polish town of Poznań, Little Sister Tomasz embarked on a life that would forever be intertwined with the tumultuous events of the 20th century.
