  • Questions Posed by Fr. Paul Landolfi to Fr. Antonio Gascón, Postulator General Translated by Bro
    Questions posed by Fr. Paul Landolfi To Fr. Antonio Gascón, Postulator General Translated by Bro. Mike McAward Question: If we decide to pray for someone through the intercession of one of our "holy ones," must it be prayer to an individual (e.g., to Fr. Chaminade, Faustino or Fr. Lazaro)? What about prayer to the Marianist Martyrs together? What about prayer of the Marianist Family to all the saints of the Marianist Family (meaning the 14 presently being considered)? A person may pray to whomever he or she wishes. Therefore, invoking the “holy ones” as a group or as individuals is up to the person. In our communities we invoke the “Marianist Martyrs” during the Eucharistic Prayer as a group but Fr. Chaminade individually. Question: If someone does take this route, what is the process he or she must go through for it to be called a miracle? You wonder what happens if a so-called “miracle” results from such group prayer. This is a little more complicated. For an alleged miracle to be designated as coming about through the intercession of a person, it must be clearly linked to prayer to that person. This is nearly impossible to ascertain when the object of the prayer was a general group. Obviously, the main purpose of the request for a favor in prayer is the favor itself (a cure, assistance of some kind, etc.), and not as a way to get “credit” for a particular “saint-in-waiting.” Nevertheless, to advance a particular person’s cause, there must be a clear link of prayer to that individual, and not simply his or her presence in a general group.

  • The 91-Year Journey to the Beatification Blessed Father William Joseph Chaminade by Tom Redmond, SM
    The 91-Year Journey to the Beatification Blessed Father William Joseph Chaminade by Tom Redmond, SM On Thursday, September 3, 2020, the Marianist Family marked the twentieth anniversary of the beatification of Father William Joseph Chaminade. The miraculous healing of Elena Graciela Otero, a lay Marianist in Buenos Aires, Argentina, through the intercession of Father Chaminade, affirmed the many efforts in the long 91-year journey of his cause. This article describes the circumstances of the miraculous healing and then looks at two separate historical events on the road to the beatification of Father Chaminade. Miraculous Healing of Elena Graciela Otero In January 1991 Elena Otero began to suffer complications from a malignant tumor (thyroid cancer) on the right side of her neck that led to difficulty in her breathing. Her lay community, Myriam Peregrina, began praying to God for a cure through the intercession of Father Chaminade. Following an examination in February, doctors decided on surgery. Without Elena receiving any medical treatment or intervention, the doctors discovered during a follow-up medical exam in March that Elena’s tumor was gone. After a diocesan investigation into Elena’s healing, her case was submitted to Rome in May 1996. In October, the investigation was accepted as valid by the Congregation for the Causes of Saints; two medical consultations then evaluated her case and considered the healing as “scientifically unexplainable.” The Congregation voted unanimously in favor of the miraculous healing, and on December 20, 1999, the decree for the beatification of Father Chaminade was announced. The beatification ceremony was held in Rome in September 2000 with three events: • Saturday, September 2: Evening prayer was celebrated at Collegio Santa Maria, a Marianist school near the General Administration of the Society of Mary.

  • Catholic Officials Seek Permission to Exhume Cardinal Newman's Body
    Catholic officials seek permission to exhume Cardinal Newman’s body LONDON – Catholic officials have applied for permission to exhume the body of a 19th-century cardinal whose cause for sainthood is expected to soon progress to beatification. They want to transfer the remains of Cardinal John Henry Newman from a grave in a small cemetery in the suburbs of Birmingham, England, to a marble sarcophagus in a church in the city where they can be venerated by pilgrims. A July 14 statement said that the Archdiocese of Birmingham was now in direct contact with the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Sir Suma Chakrabarti, to obtain the necessary permission to exhume Cardinal Newman’s body. “One of the centuries-old procedures surrounding the creating of new saints by the Catholic Church concerns their earthly remains,” said Father Paul Chavasse, provost of the Birmingham Oratory and postulator of Cardinal Newman’s cause. “These have to be identified, preserved and, if necessary, placed in a new setting that befits the individual’s new status in the church,” he said in the statement issued by the Archdiocese of Birmingham. He said the Vatican had advised the archdiocese that this would be the normal course of action. “We hope that Cardinal Newman’s new resting place in the Oratory church in Birmingham will enable more people to come and pay their respects to him, and perhaps light a candle there,” he said. Father Chavasse added that he felt certain that many people would “surely wish to honor this great and holy man.” He said the government decision on the exhumation was expected in the “near future.” Cardinal Newman’s cause took a step forward in April when Vatican medical consultants ruled that an inexplicable healing in August 2001 was a result of his intercession.

  • USCCB | How the Church Recognizes Saints
    How the Church Recognizes Saints By Jeannine Marino The process of declaring one a saint in the Catholic Church is called canonization. The canonization process is a canonical (Church law) procedure by which the Church through the Pope solemnly declares a Catholic to be united with God in heaven, an intercessory to God on behalf of the living, and worthy of public and universal veneration. A cause of canonization examines a person’s life and death to determine if they were either martyred or lived a virtuous life. Every cause of canonization has two phases: the diocesan and Roman phase. The diocese responsible for opening a cause is the diocese in which the person died/was martyred. The diocese, religious order, association or lay person(s) requesting (petitioning) for the cause asks the diocesan bishop, through a person known as the postulator to open an investigation into the martyrdom or life of the person. The diocesan bishop investigates how the person lived a heroic virtuous life, exemplifying the virtues of faith, hope and love through the calling of witnesses and the theological examination of the candidates’ writings. If the cause is based on martyrdom, the diocesan bishop investigates the circumstances surrounding the alleged martyrdom, which is also done through the calling of witnesses to the martyrdom and the examination of the candidates’ life. Once the diocesan investigation is complete, the documentation (evidence) that has been collected is sent to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of Saints and the Roman phase begins. The first step in the Roman phase is the examination of the diocesan documentation.

  • Canonisation Process
    The Canonisation of St. Oliver Plunkett Confirmed Venerable on the 9th December 1886, the campaign for Archbishop Oliver Plunkett’s beatification could then begin. Declared Martyr, by the Church on St. Patrick’s Day 1918, he became Blessed Oliver at a beatification ceremony in St. Peter’s Basilica, Rome on Pentecost Sunday 23rd May 1920, during the pontificate of Pope Benedict XV. Following the 1932 Eucharistic Congress in Dublin, there was renewed interest in Blessed Oliver and a league of prayer was initiated to pray for his canonisation. In 1958, an Italian woman, Mrs. Giovanna Martiriggiano who was gravely ill in hospital in Naples, was unexpectedly cured of her illness. A sister of the Irish Medical Missionaries of Mary, Sr. Cabrini Quigley from Donegal who was working in the hospital, prayed with the lady’s husband Nicola, regularly throughout the night to Blessed Oliver, for a cure of the patient who was expected to die overnight. The lady who was expecting a child and was full term, was found unconscious at home. After many hours in this state, she was brought to hospital where it was found that she had lost the large baby girl and that some of the mothers internal organs were severely damaged and almost nonexistent as a result. The surgeon attending her, knowing that death was imminent, only loosely stitched her up in theatre and he arranged that she should be placed in a side ward not wishing her to die in ‘his’ theatre. Overnight, surprise was expressed on several occasions that she was still alive and hospital staff were astonished the following day when the patient revived.

  • Making Saints (PDF)
    Backgrounder prepared by Office of Media Relations U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops 3211 Fourth Street NE ∙ Washington, DC 20017 202-541-3200 ∙ http://www.usccb.org/mr/ Making Saints Introduction All Christians aspire to become saints, that is, persons in heaven (officially canonized or not), who lived lives of great charity and heroic virtues and who are worthy of imitation. In official Church procedures there are three steps to sainthood: a candidate becomes “Venerable,” then “Blessed” and then “Saint.” Venerable is the title given to a deceased person recognized formally by the pope as having lived heroic virtues. To be beatified and recognized as a Blessed, one miracle acquired through the candidate‟s intercession is required in addition to recognition of heroic virtue or martyrdom. Canonization requires a second miracle after beatification, though a pope may waive these requirements. (A miracle is not required prior to a martyr‟s beatification, but one is required before canonization.) Key Terms Beatification -- the second stage in the process of proclaiming a person a saint; occurs after a diocese and the Congregation for the Causes of Saints has conducted a rigorous investigation into the person‟s life and writings to determine whether he or she demonstrates a heroic level of virtue or suffered martyrdom. A miracle attributed to the person‟s intercession must be proved. Blessed -- titled bestowed on a person who has been beatified and accorded limited veneration. Canonization – the formal process by which the Church declares a person to be a saint and worthy of veneration universally. Congregation for the Causes of Saints – a department of the Roman Curia, established originally as the Congregation of Rites by Pope Sixtus V in 1588.
