Who they were

In the Charterhouse of Le Reposoir in Burgundy, in present-day France, Blessed Jean d'Espagne, monk, who wrote the statutes for the nuns of the Carthusian Order.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers him on 25 June as a Carthusian monk of Le Reposoir who wrote the statutes for the Carthusian nuns.

The cause

Jean d'Espagne has been beatified; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Diocese of Frejus-Toulon: Blessed Jean d'Espagne.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
