Who they were

Pedro Arrupe y Gondra, (14 November 1907 – 5 February 1991) was a Basque Spanish Catholic priest who served as the 28th superior general of the Society of Jesus from 1965 to 1983. He has been called a second founder of the Society, which he led in the implementation of the Second Vatican Council, especially with regard to faith that does justice and preferential option for the poor.

The miracles

Cause open

A cause for canonisation has been opened, which is what Servant of God means. Heroic virtue has not yet been declared and no miracle has been examined.

Why that counted as sanctity

Limited information is available on this saint so far.

The cause

Pedro Arrupe is named a Servant of God; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: Jesuits: the cause of Pedro Arrupe.

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