Fr Kuriakose Elias Chavara and Sister Euphrasia will be conferred sainthood by the Vatican on November 23
Fr Kuriakose Elias Chavara and Sister Euphrasia will be conferred sainthood by the Vatican on November 23. Both of them belong to Syro Malabar Church and were beatified during the tenure of Pope John Paul II. The date for elevation of Fr Chavara and Sr Euphrasia to sainthood was taken by the consistory of cardinals held in the Vatican on Thursday. Six years ago, Sr Alphonsa from Syro Malabar Church became the first woman saint of the country. Marking the occasion, special prayers were offered in Catholic churches in Kottayam and Thrissur associated with the two beatified persons.
