Juan Ignacio Larrea Holguín
Ecuadorian canon lawyer and archbishop of Guayaquil
Who they were
A doctor of civil and canon law and the first Ecuadorian member of Opus Dei, he taught law in Quito and Guayaquil and became archbishop of Guayaquil.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Santi e Beati describes the opening of his cause, with a vice-postulator and historical expert appointed for the diocesan tribunal.
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.
