Maria von Mörl
Tyrolean laywoman, Franciscan tertiary and stigmatic of Kaltern
Who they were
A Franciscan tertiary of Kaltern in South Tyrol, she received the stigmata on 4 February 1834 and spent the rest of her life in ecstasy and reputed sanctity, drawing pilgrims from across Europe.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Bishop Ivo Muser of Bolzano-Bressanone opened her diocesan process on 1 July 2016 and closed it on 12 January 2019; the Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted the nihil obstat on 22 June 2020, so she is a Servant of God.
The cause
Maria von Mörl 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 von Mörl.
