(1870–1931) Hungarian aristocrat and physician

Who they were
At Vienna in Austria, Blessed László Batthyány-Strattmann: father of a family, bearing witness to the Gospel both in his family and in civil society with the holiness of his life and works, he lived his title and his dignity as a physician in a truly Christian way and with great charity worked to care for the sick, for whom he founded hospitals, in which, setting aside all vanity, he received only the poor and needy.
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 22 January as a physician and father who founded hospitals for the poor.
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.
