Peter Joseph Savelberg
Dutch priest who founded the Little Sisters and the Brothers of Saint Joseph
Who they were
A priest of Heerlen in Dutch Limburg, he founded the Little Sisters of Saint Joseph in 1872 and the Brothers of Saint Joseph in 1876.
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
His cause opened in the diocese of Roermond in 1934 and the decree on his heroic virtues was promulgated on 28 November 1988.
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.
