Who they were

A priest of Jewish descent and a philosopher, he worked through the Holy Cross Association to rescue persecuted Jews and wore the yellow star although not required to; he was shot into the Danube by Arrow Cross men in December 1944, aged 32.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Cardinal Péter Erdő and the Archdiocese of Esztergom-Budapest, with the approval of the Hungarian Bishops' Conference, began his beatification and canonisation process in 2025, naming Flavio Depaula as postulator; he is therefore called a Servant of God.

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.
