A commission of cardinals and bishops within the Congregation for the Causes of Saints this morning voted for the Pope to declare Gozitan nun Madre Margerita De Brincat venerable.

The meeting was led by Cardinal James M. Harvey. Postulator of the cause, Fr Gianni Califano ofm, was present.

The vote will now be presented to Pope Francis so that on the congregation’s advice he would sign the official decree declaring the nun venerable.

Once she is declared Venerable, the only remaining factor for Madre de Brincat to be declared Blessed would be a miracle with her intercession.
