Magdeleine Hutin (Magdeleine of Jesus)
French foundress of the Little Sisters of Jesus
Who they were
Magdeleine Hutin founded the Fraternity of the Little Sisters of Jesus, whose members live among marginalised peoples, especially in the Middle East and North Africa.
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 diocesan inquiry ran in Rome from 6 October 2000 to 21 March 2003, and the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints records the decree declaring her Venerable on 13 October 2021.
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.
