Who they were

A teacher who joined Fr Joseph Kentenich at Schoenstatt in 1926 and helped found the Schoenstatt Sisters of Mary; she died at Koblenz-Metternich in 1955.

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 opened on 12 October 1999 and the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated on 10 May 2012.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
