Who they were

Gabriel Rosset was a teacher-trainer in Lyon who founded and led the Foyer Notre-Dame des Sans-Abri, a shelter for homeless people, and organised retreats for those it housed.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The diocese of Lyon states that the cause for his beatification and canonisation was opened there on 23 February 2006, promoted by the association Les Amis de Gabriel Rosset.

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.
