Who they were

Limited information is available on this saint so far. We are always working to add more, and this page will be updated as new information comes to light.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

A Spanish Augustinian who served as a missionary in Hunan and died at Lake Dongting in 1933; his cause is treated as one of martyrdom. The nihil obstat was given on 14 May 2004 and the competent forum was transferred to Palencia in 2003.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
