Who they were

Jiménez was born in Castilruiz, Soria, entered the Jesuits and spent his ministry in Argentina, dying in Buenos Aires in 1954.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

His cause was opened in the diocese of San Miguel in 1984; the vice-postulation is based at the parish of Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro in San Miguel and names him Servant of God.

The cause

Mauricio Jiménez Artiga 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 Mauricio Jiménez Artiga.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
