Who they were

In the city of Sillery in Quebec in Canada, Blessed Mary of Saint Cecilia of Rome (Dina) Bélanger, virgin, of the Congregation of the Religious of Jesus and Mary, who for many years bore the pains of a serious illness trusting in God alone.

The miracles

The Roman Martyrology does not describe the miracles approved in the cause.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 4 September as a Religious of Jesus and Mary who bore a long serious illness trusting in God alone.

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.
