Who they were

An Augustinian who took the habit in 1933, he came to Chosica in 1943 and served there for almost sixty years as a teacher at the Colegio Santa Rosa and guide of the Legion of Mary.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Augustinian province of Peru names him a Servant of God within the canonisation process and publishes a prayer for his beatification; the cause was opened in the diocese of Chosica in 2022.

The cause

Serapio Rivero Nicolás (Padre Riverito) 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 Serapio Rivero Nicolás (Padre Riverito).

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