Who they were

At Longueuil in Canada, Blessed Marie Rose (Eulalie) Durocher, virgin, foundress of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary for the human and Christian formation of young women.

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 6 October as foundress of the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary at Longueuil.

The cause

Marie Rose Durocher has been beatified; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary: the cause of Marie Rose Durocher.

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