Pope orders promulgation of decrees for causes of Saints


(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis on Monday received in private audience Cardinal Angelo Amato, S.D.B., Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. In the course of the Audience, the Supreme Pontiff authorized the Congregation to promulgate decrees regarding:

The recognition of miracles for Ludovico Pavoni and Solomon Leclercq clears the way for the canonization of the two blesseds.

Father Ludovico Pavoni founded the Congregation of the Sons of Mary Immaculate (the “Pavoniani”) dedicated to the human and Christian education of children, especially needy boys, with the goal of teaching them useful professions.

A member of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, Brother Solomon Leclercq exercised his ministry in France in the late 19th century. Brother Leclercq went into hiding when religious orders were outlawed during the French Revolution. He was martyred, along with nearly 200 hundred others, during the September Massacres of 1792.

Rafaél Manuel Almansa Riaño ministered in Colombia in the late 19th and early 20th century.
