Rafaela Veintemilla Villacís (Rafaela de la Pasión)
Ecuadorian founder of the Augustinian Daughters of the Most Holy Saviour
Who they were
Veintemilla, born in Quito, founded the Congregation of the Augustinian Daughters of the Most Holy Saviour and died in Lima.
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
Her cause was opened in the archdiocese of Lima in 1987, and on 8 November 2018 the Holy See Press Office published the decree on her heroic virtues.
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.
