Who they were

Father Bruno Kaniarakath was a priest of the Carmelites of Mary Immaculate in Kerala, remembered for austerity and simplicity.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The nihil obstat for his cause is dated 2 September 2021 and the eparchy of Palai is the competent forum; the cause's own site calls him Servant of God and carries the prayer for his canonisation.

The cause

Devasya Kaniarakath (Bruno) is named a Servant of God; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Devasya Kaniarakath (Bruno).

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
