Beatification process for Bangladeshi bishop gets going:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

Bangladeshi Catholics have begun praying for the intercession of their first native archbishop, Mgr Theotonius Amal Ganguly, and to pray for his beatification, which would be the first of a local Catholic. Fr Proshanto Theotonius Rebeiro, parish priest of St Mary’s Cathedral in Dhaka, said during mass on 2 September: \u201cFrom now on, we will not address him as the late archbishop but as Servant of God, Theotonius Amal Ganguly.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ceremony that marked this historic event for the country was attended by nine bishops \u2013 including the Apostolic Nuncio to Bangladesh Archbishop Paul Tschang In-nam and Archbishop Paulinus Costa of Dhaka \u2013 as well as about 100 priests, several hundred religious, and more than 3,000 lay people. The mass was publicized as the "official announcement of the process for the cause of beatification and canonization" of Archbishop Ganguly.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And in Colombia:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n
\n

The inhabitants of Angostura, a small town in the Colombian region of Antioquia, are praying with hope for a miracle that will clear the way for the canonization of Blessed Father Marianito, who was a parish priest there in the late 1800s.<\/p>\n

Blessed Mariano de Jesus Eusse, known as Father Marianito, was beatified on April 9, 2000, by Pope John Paul II.  The event was historic for the town of Angostura.  After being the site of violent conflicts between several armed groups, the town has become a place of pilgrimage for thousands who come to pray to Father Marianito.<\/p>\n

Father Marianito spent his life working with farmers and the poor.  His beatification was possible after the miraculous cure of a priest who suffered from cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
