Canonization

After Mother Consuelo was given the title of a "Venerable" in December 2012, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints announced already a close opening for the process of Mother Rita, making her way to sainthood which shall only need a miracle to continue onwards. Her cause for sainthood was proposed by the Augustinians and of the Congregation of the Augustinian Sisters. Today she is commemorated as a "Servant of God" within the Roman Catholic Church.
