Who they were

Guided by Saint Josep Manyanet, she entered the Daughters of the Holy Family in 1877 and later led the group that restored the institute as the Daughters of the Holy House of Nazareth, directing it until 1905.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Her congregation records that the Holy See granted the nihil obstat in January 2015 and that the session opening the process on her heroic virtues was held in Barcelona on 15 September 2015.

The cause

Manuela Colomina Agustí (Mother María Encarnación) 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 Manuela Colomina Agustí (Mother María Encarnación).

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