Pope Francis is to hold a Consistory
on Friday, March 4 to create three new saints in the Catholic
Church, the Vatican said Tuesday.
The newly canonized will be Titus Brandsma, a Carmelite priest
and martyr; Maria Rivier, founder of the congregation of sisters
of the Presentation of Mary; and Maria di Gesù (birth name
Carolina Santocanale), founder of the congregation of the
Capuchin sisters of the Immaculate of Lourdes.
They were beatified some time ago and have now had the requisite
two miracles for canonization ascribed to them.
