Who they were
Married laywoman of Canton, Ohio, a convert who reported the stigmata and whose house became a place of prayer for the sick.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The diocesan inquiry of the diocese of Youngstown ran from 7 October 2016 to 6 July 2018.
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.
