Who they were

At Madrid, also in Spain, Blessed María Sagrario of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga (Elvira) Moragas Cantarero, virgin of the Order of Discalced Carmelites and martyr in the same persecution.

The miracles

As a martyr she was raised to the altars without a miracle.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Roman Martyrology remembers her on 15 August as a Discalced Carmelite virgin and martyr at Madrid.

The cause

María Sagrario de San Luis Gonzaga has been beatified; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Discalced Carmelite Postulation: Blessed Maria Sagrario of St Aloysius Gonzaga.

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