Who they were

Born at Alaquàs near Valencia, she began catechetical centres in 1900 that grew into the Working Catechist Sisters of Our Lady of Sorrows. Santi e Beati gives her death as 30 May 1950, where the Hagiography Circle has 30 June 1950.

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 opened in 1963 and the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated on 21 December 1998.

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.
