Who they were
Hermelinda Simón Prieto, born in the province of Ourense, joined the Sisters of Charity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in 1901 and was elected superior general in 1935, 1941 and 1947, rebuilding the congregation's schools after the Spanish Civil War.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The cause was promoted by her congregation in Madrid and received the nihil obstat on 31 July 1986; santiebeati.it dates the decree on the validity of the diocesan process to 24 May 1993, where the Hagiography Circle gives 21 May 1993.
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.
