Married Couple to be Canonized

    • Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, will be canonized in October.

    Cardinal Angelo Amato, the prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, announced that Pope Francis plans to canonize the couple in conjunction with the October meeting of the Synod of Bishops, with will focus on the family.

    The Martins were married in 1858. Of their nine children, four died in infancy; the remaining five all entered religious life. One, St. Therese, is now recognized as a Doctor of the Church. Another, Léonie, is a candidate for beatification.

    Louis and Zelie Martin were beatified by Pope Benedict XVI in October 2008. The recognition of a miracle attributed to their intercession is still needed to fulfill the normal requirements for canonization. But informed Vatican officials say that formal recognition of a miracle will occur within a few weeks.

    • The Vatican has formally approved a miracle attributed to the intercession of Louis and Zelie Martin, the parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, clearing the way for their canonization in October.

    Following closely on reports that Pope Francis plans to canonize Louis and Zelie Martin during the October meeting of the Synod of Bishops, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints issued a decree on March 18 confirming the miracle.

    The Congregation also issued decrees confirming the “heroic virtue” of the following candidates, who will now be eligible for beatification if a miracle is attributed to their intercession:


    •Francesco Gattola (1822- 1899), an Italian priest;
    •Petar Barbaric (1874-1897), a Bosnian Jesuit novice;
    •Mary Aikenhead (1787- 1858), an Irish religious;
    •Elisa Baldo Foresti (born 1862), an Italian widow and founder;
    •Vincenta of the Passion of the Lord, born Jadwiga Jaroszewska, a Polish religious;
    •Juana of the Cross, born Juana Vazquez Gutierrez (1481-1534), a Spanish religious; and
    •Maria Orsola Bussone (1954- 1970), an Italian lay member of the Focolare movement.
