Who they were

A Catalan engineer who returned to the faith as an adult and in 1946 founded the Hermandad Obrera de Acción Católica (HOAC), the Spanish Catholic workers movement.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The HOAC asked for his cause in 2001-2002 and Cardinal Rouco Varela opened the diocesan process in the archdiocese of Madrid on 8 July 2003; he is titled Servant of God.

The cause

Guillermo Rovirosa Albet (Guillem Rovirosa i Albet) 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 Guillermo Rovirosa Albet (Guillem Rovirosa i Albet).

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