Who they were

García Herreros, a priest of the Congregation of Jesus and Mary (Eudists), founded El Minuto de Dios in Bogotá, which built housing and ran a long-running television programme.

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 Engativá in 2014 and the cause's site names him Servant of God.

The cause

Rafael García Herreros Unda 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 Rafael García Herreros Unda.

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