Natividad Sánchez Villoria (Francisca of the Child Jesus)
Spanish Poor Clare of Salamanca
Who they were
Born at Fuenteguinaldo in the province of Salamanca, she entered a Poor Clare monastery in 1923 and died in Salamanca in 1991.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
The nihil obstat was given on 2 March 2002, the diocesan inquiry ran from 8 March 2002 to 29 February 2004, and the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated on 2 October 2019.
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.
