The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Madeleine Boudou married Raoul Follereau and shared his life's work for people with leprosy; their cause is a joint cause of a married couple. The Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted the nihil obstat for the diocesan inquiry, dated 11 October 2011 for her, and Paris is the competent forum.
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.
