Mary Celine Payyappilly (Annakutty Payyappilly)
Indian Carmelite sister who was first Superior General of the Congregation of the Mother of Carmel
Who they were
Payyappilly became a CMC sister in 1928, taught at Ollur and Karukutty, and was elected the first Superior General of the whole Congregation of the Mother of Carmel when its branches were united in 1963, establishing the generalate at Thaikattukara, Aluva.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The congregation's generalate names her a Servant of God, and the diocesan inquiry opened on 9 April 2018.
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.
