Summary/Abstract: Jadwiga Zamoyska was born on 4th July 1831 in Warsaw. As a married noble layperson she elaborated a very original educational system based on the Gospel and Catholic catechism, which was approved by the Popes Leo XIII and Pius X. In 1882 this system was successfully in- troduced into practice in her famous school for young women. Thousands of them graduated from the school being very well prepared for housework and family life. The school functioned first in Kórnik and then in Zakopane till 1948. Jadwiga Zamoyska died on 4th November 1923 in Kórnik with the reputation of holiness. In 1931 the process of her beatification was inquired by the Arch- diocese of Poznań, however it was interrupted in 1939. After decades the process was resumed in 2012 by the Poznań Archbishop, Stanisław Gądecki.
