Who they were

Parish priest at Les Brouzils in the Vendée from 1814 until his death in 1856 and founder of the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (Mormaison).

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 cause was handled by the diocese of Luçon, with the informative process opened in 1933; the congregation records that John Paul II declared him Venerable in Rome on 7 July 1997.

The cause

Pierre Monnereau has been declared Venerable; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Pierre Monnereau.

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