Who they were

A farmer's son from Ballingshausen who taught for decades at Münnerstadt, was prior there and from 1895 provincial of the restored German Augustinian province, growing it from two houses to five; he died at Münnerstadt in 1904. The informative process was opened in 1934.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Santi e Beati lists him as a Servant of God, while the Hagiography Circle records a decree on his heroic virtues of 3 July 2008.

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.
