This January 24, Pope Francis recognized the miracle attributed to the intercession of the Canadian Blessed Mother Maria Leonia Paradis, founder of the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Holy Family.
Every time the Holy Father meets with Cardinal Marcello Semeraro, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, the Pontiff usually promulgates new decrees.
