Joanna
wife of Chuza, disciple who served Jesus
Feast: 24 May (not on the universal Roman calendar; kept in the Roman Martyrology or local calendars)
Who they were
The commemoration of Blessed Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, who together with other women served Jesus and the Apostles with her own goods and on the day of the Lord's Resurrection found the stone of the tomb rolled away and announced it to the disciples.
The miracles
There was never a formal cause: she has been honoured as a saint since before the Church's formal processes began.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 24 May as the wife of Chuza, who served Jesus and the Apostles with her own goods and announced the empty tomb to the disciples.
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.
