It was at Wadowice, Poland that St. Raphael of St. Joseph spent the most fruitful years of his life as a Discalced Carmelite friar. As a child, he dreamed of dying on "the day that is always good," All Souls Day, 2 November. In fact, he went home to God on 15 November 1907, Carmelite All Souls Day.

And this relation will last forever.
