Marie de Mandat-Grancey
French Daughter of Charity who bought and preserved the House of the Virgin Mary at Ephesus
Who they were
A Daughter of Charity serving in Smyrna, she funded and secured the site identified in 1891 as the House of the Virgin Mary near Ephesus.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Her cause was opened on 21 January 2011 in the diocese of Kansas City-Saint Joseph, Missouri, because the archdiocese of Izmir lacked the staff and resources to run it.
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.
