Blessed Mariam Thresia to be Canonized on October 13

Pope Francis has formally approved the canonization of Indian Blessed Mariam Thresia Chiramel Mankidiyan, founder of the Congregation of the Sisters of the Holy Family and decreed that the canonization will take place in St Peter’s Square on Sunday, Oct. 13.

The Holy Father made the announcement at a July 1st ordinary public consistory of cardinals on causes of canonization at the Vatican.

Oct. 13 was speculated as the most likely date for the canonization. Indian bishops will be in Rome for their ad limina visit during that time, and so the canonization of Blessed Mariam Thresia Chiramel Mankidiyan would coincide well with their visit.
