The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The diocesan phase of his cause was opened on 30 January 2022 in the Roman Catholic cathedral of Iaşi, with the bishop presenting the tribunal and the postulator Fr Isidor Iacovici; the inquiry closed on 13 September 2023.
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.
