Who they were

Santi e Beati lists the couple as Servants of God; the inquiry was opened in the archdiocese of São Sebastião do Rio de Janeiro in 2014.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Magalhães was a Brazilian engineer and coffee planter whose married life with Zélia Pedreira Magalhães is the subject of a joint cause.

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.
