The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Santi e Beati records that a beatification process was opened and is still under way.
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.
