Stanislaus Papczyński, MIC (18 May 1631 – 17 September 1701), born Jan Papczyński and in religion Stanislaus of Jesus and Mary, was a Polish Catholic priest who founded the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, the first Polish religious order for men. He is also widely remembered as a prolific religious writer, including works such as The Mystical Temple of God.
He was beatified on 16 September 2007 in Poland by Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone on the behalf of Pope Benedict XVI. Pope Francis approved a miracle attributed to him on 21 January 2016, which allowed him to be canonized. On 15 March 2016 a consistory of cardinals scheduled his canonization to take place on 5 June 2016. It was celebrated in Saint Peter's Square.
