Who they were

A chemical engineer who taught inorganic chemistry at the University of Guadalajara, he joined Opus Dei in 1963 and lived his faith through his professional work.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

Santi e Beati records that his cause of canonisation began at Guadalajara in 2021.

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.
