Who they were

In the forest of Rennes in Brittany, Blessed Raoul de La Futaie, priest, founder of the monastery of Saint-Sulpice.

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 16 August as a priest who founded the monastery of Saint-Sulpice in the forest of Rennes.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
