Who they were

Reina Castrillón, a Jesuit, founded the Servants of the Poor, Daughters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, tracing the foundation to Pentecost 1942 in Almería cathedral.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

His cause of canonisation was opened in 2017 and the closing session of the diocesan phase was held in Almería cathedral, the investigation having gathered nearly three thousand pages on his life and reputation for holiness.

The cause

Joaquín Reina Castrillón 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 Joaquín Reina Castrillón.

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