The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Santi e Beati lists her as a Servant of God; the nihil obstat for her cause in Rome was granted in 1996.
The cause
Maria Rachele Tararan 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 Maria Rachele Tararan.
