Walter Elías Chango Rondeau
Uruguayan teenager who died of tuberculosis at eighteen
Who they were
A pupil of the Brothers of the Holy Family of Belley at La Aguada near Montevideo, he was a frequent communicant who worked among the poor and the sick and died of tuberculosis shortly after turning eighteen.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The diocesan inquiry into his heroic virtues ran in Montevideo from 25 June 2000 to 21 March 2004.
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.
