Who they were

Marica Stanković was a Zagreb teacher and Catholic youth leader who founded the Collaborators of Christ the King, a secular institute, and was imprisoned by the Yugoslav communist secret police after a show trial in 1947.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Her cause was opened in the archdiocese of Zagreb after the nihil obstat of 10 June 2006 and she is titled Servant of God.

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.
