Blessed Karolina Kózka (†1914) was a fifteen-year-old Polish victim of a sex attack and murder. She was known locally for her strong faith and her eagerness to catechize her neighbors and children. Kózka is often referred to as the "Polish Maria Goretti" due to the manner of her death. Kózka's death caused great public outrage against Russians since a Russian soldier was believed to have attacked and killed her. Three thousand people flocked to her funeral and called for her canonization cause to be introduced as she died defending her virginity. The cause formally commenced in the 1950s and culminated in 1987 with Pope John Paul II beatifying her in independent Poland. Her feast day is celebrated on 18 November and she is considered the Holy Patron of abuse victims, youth, farmers, and Movement of Pure Hearts.
