About
Piotr Kosiba (29 June 1855 - 4 January 1939) - in religious Alojzy - was a Polish Roman Catholic professed religious and member from the Order of Friars Minor; he was often dubbed the "Holy Almoner" or the "Apostle of Goodness and the Poor. He was born to poor farmers and worked straight after his education as a shoemaker due to being unable to afford further education; he was likewise unable to pursue his dream of becoming a priest due to wanting to work to support his siblings. He joined the Franciscans as a religious brother instead in 1878 and worked as their cobbler and beekeeper while ministering to poor children and going around asking for alms for them. His apostolate continued in World War I when he would bring gifts to those affected.
