Alfred Delp
German Jesuit priest of the Kreisau Circle executed by the Nazis
Who they were
Fr Alfred Delp SJ worked in Munich-Bogenhausen and joined the Kreisau Circle's plans for a post-Nazi Germany; he was arrested after the July 1944 plot and hanged at Plötzensee prison in Berlin on 2 February 1945.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Cardinal Reinhard Marx opened his beatification cause with a Mass in Munich's Frauendom on 2 February 2026, the 81st anniversary of his death.
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.
