Who they were
A young member of Catholic Action at the San José Obrero parish in Paraná, she is remembered for radiating hope through the leukaemia that killed her at 19.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Archbishop Juan Alberto Puiggari of Paraná opened the diocesan phase of her beatification cause on 7 May 2024, after the nihil obstat of 28 March 2023.
The cause
María Cruz López 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 María Cruz López.
