Who they were

Bl. Alachrinus, a Cistercian monk of Casamari (diocese of Veroli) in Italy, was created a bishop by Pope Innocent III and was sent as legate to Germany by Honorius III. He flourished about 1216.

The miracles

The source does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

A Benedictine Martyrology (1922) remembers him on 4 January.

The cause

The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
