Luso de Barros Matos
Brazilian diocesan priest of Porto Nacional, Tocantins
Who they were
He spent some 42 years ministering in Porto Nacional, known for his devotion to St Anthony and for visiting and supporting the sick, the bereaved and the poor.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Diocese of Porto Nacional opened the diocesan phase of his beatification cause in 2025, after the Holy See's nihil obstat of 2022; he is named Servo de Deus.
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.
