Who they were
Amanda was diagnosed with leukaemia at three and was remembered for her cheerfulness and trust in God through her illness.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Santi e Beati records that Bishop Mario Moronta of San Cristóbal presided over the opening of her cause on 22 November 2018.
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.
