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 decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.

Why that counted as sanctity

Alberto Capellán Zuazo was a married layman of Santo Domingo de la Calzada active in Spanish Nocturnal Adoration, which petitioned for his cause. It was opened in the diocese of Calahorra y La Calzada-Logroño after the nihil obstat of 13 January 1983; the cognitional process ran from 1983 to 1986 and Pope John Paul II declared him Venerable on 6 April 1998.

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.
