The cause for canonisation of Dr Sr Mary Glowrey JMJ is in its Preliminary Phase in accordance with the instructions at Part II of Sanctorum Mater. The Society of Jesus Mary and Joseph (JMJ) are the petitioners. For more information about the various stages of a cause for sainthood, please click here.

For any cause to have a remote possibility of success, three prerequisites are essential, namely:

  1. There is a widespread reputation of holiness of the person considered.
  2. The person has lived a heroically virtuous life.
  3. There is evidence of intercessory power, favours and/or miracles attributed to the person's intercession.

The League has established a Register to record the accounts of those persons who genuinely believe, or maintain that they are certain, that they received spiritual favours through Mary Glowrey's intercession. The Society of JMJ has established a similar Register in India.

If you genuinely believe that you have received a spiritual favour through Mary Glowrey's intercession, please tell us about it. Letters should be sent to the:

Committee for the Cause of Dr Sr Mary Glowrey JMJ

Mary Glowrey House
132-134 Nicholson St
