Kateri is especially popular here in Canada. Great complement to the Canadian and other North American martyrs.

the Pope has announced that Bl. Katiri Tekek...whatever...is going to be canonized!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know the details yet, but I will post when I do!

[Maximilianus]

The Fulton sheen part is hopeful thinking and not in the article.

[Nihil Obstat]

Her requisite miracle has been approved. I don't know if the canonization has been announced, but nothing further is required.

Ok I did a bit of research and found that the Argentinian nun whose miracle was recognized was Sr. Maria Crescencia Perez.

(sorry its in spanish -- I had to search a bit to find the reference to the nun).

The neat thing -- I visited her tomb in Pergamino, Argentina a few weeks before returning to the states. There were no live flowers there. And there was a really beautiful scent that emanated. No candles too that emanated any scent (I checked everything .... couldn't figure out where the scent came from ... you could only smell it when you were kneeling right at the tomb).
