Oil Dedicated to Oil Dedicated to St Josef and St Wiktoria Ulma

St. Józef and St. Wiktoria Ulma, a humble married couple from Markowa, Poland, lived quiet lives rooted in faith, family, and service to others. As farmers raising their growing family in the 1930s and 1940s, they placed Christ at the center of their home, cultivating a life of simplicity, prayer, and self-giving love. But it was during the horrors of World War II that their quiet witness would shine with the light of heroic charity.

When Nazi forces occupied Poland, the Ulmas courageously hid several Jewish families in their home—fully aware of the grave danger this placed on themselves and their six young children, with another child on the way. Their home became a refuge of mercy in a world torn by hatred. On March 24, 1944, their sacrifice reached its fullest measure. The family was betrayed, and German soldiers executed Józef, Wiktoria (then pregnant), and all their children, along with the Jewish families they were sheltering.

Their martyrdom stands as one of the most powerful modern witnesses of Gospel love. The Ulmas remind us that Christian charity knows no bounds and that true discipleship calls us to lay down our lives for others, even strangers. Their home, once a simple farmhouse, has become a shrine of sacrificial love and family sanctity.

Our Irish Blessing Oil dedicated to St. Józef and St. Wiktoria Ulma is prayerfully prepared to honor their heroic virtue and family-centered holiness. Each bottle comes with a prayer card seeking their intercession—for families striving to live lives of charity, for courage in standing up for the persecuted, and for the grace to protect life and dignity in all its forms.

Lovingly prayed over by the team at A Blessed Call to Love. Offers a spiritual source of encouragement. It invites families to live their daily lives as places of love, hospitality, and courageous faith.

May the witness of St. Józef and St. Wiktoria Ulma inspire your family to become a home where Christ dwells, where love overcomes fear, and where every life is treasured as a gift from God.
