Question:

How St. Maria Goretti become a saint?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: The website http://www.mariagoretti.org/mariabio.htm... states you can contact them for the two miracles attributed to Maria Goretti after her death that were the basis for her canonization.

". . .The next step (after being declared "Venerable") is beatification if it is determined by the church that the candidate is responsible for a miracle after his or her death.

Finally, for the designation of saint, the church must certify proof of a second posthumous miracle."
