About Bernard of Wąbrzeźno

Lived 1575 – 1603 (aged 28). Bernard of Wąbrzeźno was a Polish catholic priest, monk and cleric.

Bernard of Wąbrzeźno (, , born Błażej Pęcharek, ; 3 February 1575 – 2 June 1603) was a Catholic priest and a Benedictine monk from the Benedictine Abbey in Lubiń, Poland. He has been named as a candidate for beatification several times, beginning in the 1730s and most recently in 2009.

A legend associated with Bernard was that he performed a miracle to restore water to the depleted well in the town of Grodzisk Wielkopolski, Poland. The well provided the water for the town's brewery, which was the primary source of income for the town; without the income from the brewery, its residents were starving. In addition to healing everybody who drank from it, the new water source was reputed to make the beer produced by the town's brewery far superior to what it had been able to produce before, and led to hundreds of years of prosperity for the town and its residents.

Biography Bernard was one of eight children of Paweł Pęcharek, the mayor of Wąbrzeźno, and his wife Dorota of Sasin.
