Who they were

A priest of the Paris Foreign Missions Society in south India who founded the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Pondicherry on 16 October 1844.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The congregation he founded names him Servant of God; the nihil obstat for his cause is dated 4 April 2016 and the competent forum is Pondicherry-Cuddalore.

The cause

Louis Savinien Dupuis 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 Louis Savinien Dupuis.

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