Agnelo Gustavo Adolfo de Souza
Goan priest of the Society of the Missionaries of St Francis Xavier of Pilar
Who they were
De Souza joined the Missionary Society of St Francis Xavier at Pilar in Goa in 1897 and was ordained in 1898, working as a missionary in Goa and for some years in the diocese of Mangalore.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
His cause was opened in the archdiocese of Goa and Daman in 1956 and he was declared Venerable on 10 November 1986.
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.
