Who they were

Vincentian priest born at Arequipa, twenty-seventh archbishop of Lima, who resigned his see for political reasons and spent his last years in Spain, dying at Valencia.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The nulla osta was granted on 13 November 2002 and the diocesan inquiry ran from 21 September 2003 to 31 May 2008.

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.
