Who they were

Born at Cheste to a farming family, he qualified as a teacher and lawyer, married María Luisa Sabater and had eight children, led the regional federation of Catholic students and joined the Catholic Association of Propagandists, working with Archbishop Marcelino Olaechea on housing and on the Catholic teachers' association of Valencia; he died with a reputation for holiness in Valencia on 6 August 1965.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The Association lists him among its causes of canonisation as a Servant of God; the nihil obstat came in 2014 and the diocesan inquiry opened on 16 June 2015.

The cause

José María Haro Salvador 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 José María Haro Salvador.

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