Who they were

A Passionist from Springfield, Massachusetts, who taught theology, moved to Rome and was superior general of the congregation from 1964 until his death during the years after the Second Vatican Council.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The nihil obstat came on 19 December 2007 and the beatification process opened on 9 May 2008.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
