Who they were
A Salesian who spent his life as a missionary in north-east India and was bishop of Dibrugarh and then of Tura, where he died.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The diocesan inquiry opened at Tura on 12 April 2007, with the nihil obstat of 9 July 2007, and has since passed to Rome.
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.
