Who they were

Priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross who founded the Holy Cross mission to East Africa and became the first bishop of Fort Portal in Uganda, later secretary general of the association of East African bishops' conferences. The Hagiography Circle gives his death as 1 November 1982 at Rochester, Minnesota.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

His congregation calls him a Servant of God (1906-1982) and marks the anniversary of his death on 1 November; the nulla osta for his cause was granted on 20 July 2007.

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.
