In recent history have any siblings both become saints?

Other than Francisco and Jacinto Marto of Fatima?

St Therese of Lisieux had a sister named Leonie, who also became a nun, but in a different order.

Her cause is being looked into.
 
Not recent but… St. Lazarus, st. Mary Magdalene and st. Martha
 
Very good 👏 I would never have come up with those! Will read up more about them…
 
Interesting to know… yes could be a potential pair of sibling saints in future!
 
Again, not recent but in the family of St. Basil the Great:

St. Macrina the Elder (grandmother)
St. Basil the Elder, his father
St. Emiliana, his mother
St. Gregory of Nyssa, also Doctor of the Church
St. Macrina the Younger, first abbess
St. Peter of Sebaste
St. Gorgonias
St. Naucratius

7 out of 10 children became Saints (can’t remember the rest).
