Who they were

Bonnín was a layman of Palma de Mallorca who began the Cursillos de Cristiandad, the first of which was held at Cala Figuera in August 1944, and spent his life spreading the movement.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The chancellor of the diocese of Mallorca read the opening act of his cause at the Capuchin church in Palma on 5 February 2015, with the diocesan Cursillos secretariat as actor; the Holy See gave the nihil obstat on 21 July 2018 and the diocesan inquiry opened on 28 November 2018.

The cause

Eduardo Bonnín Aguiló 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 Eduardo Bonnín Aguiló.

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