It is with joy that we announce that Mother Mary Alphonsa's (Rose Hawthorne) cause has advanced from Servant of God to Venerable Servant of God by the Congregation of Saints in Rome.  At this point miracles will begin to be examined.  Please rejoice with us!  It is our hope that the heroic and holy life of our foundress will be a source of inspiration to more people.

We are very excited to share with you recent news regarding progress in Rose Hawthorne’s cause for canonization. On December 6, 2022, there was a judgement made by the Theological Consultants in Rome after reviewing Mother’s writings and life. We received news on December 9th from the postulator that her positio (the document which reviews her life and works) “has been judged by the Theological Consultants of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints with 9 out of 9 positive regarding the heroicity of the Virtues.” This is a very big step and very exciting news!
We thank you all for your prayers and support to help us get here and ask you to join us in thanking God for this move forward, and to keep praying for the advancement of her cause. The next step is a judgement among the Dicastery Bishops and Cardinals and then to our Holy Father Pope Francis. If he approves her life as one of heroic virtue, then she will be declared Venerable Rose Hawthorne (Mother Mary Alphonsa).
May God bless you and let us continue to be united in prayer!
