Antonio Gamboa López
Spanish diocesan priest of Ronda, "apostle of youth and charity"
Who they were
Born in Coín, he was parish priest of Santa María la Mayor in Ronda from 1952 to 1989, founded the Centro Obrero Católico for young people and died at a home for the destitute in Arriate.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Diocese of Málaga opened his cause of beatification on 2 September 2025, when the members of the delegated commission (judge, promoter of justice, notary and postulator Francisco José Pérez Rojas) swore their offices; the diocesan website calls him Siervo de Dios.
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.
