Who they were
A Jesuit novice of Székesfehérvár who died after a painful illness in 1935 and became widely venerated in Hungary.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
The informative process was opened in 1941 and Benedict XVI declared him Venerable in December 2006.
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.
