In order to join the Jesuits, against the opposition of his family, Stanislaus walked the 750 kilometres to Germany, and with the blessings of Fr Peter Canisius, the Provincial Superior there, he was admitted to the Society of Jesus in Rome. In the novitiate, Stanislaus was blessed with mystical experiences. He died of illness on 15 August 1568.
