Ok, so upon some research I came across this saint, well on his way to being a saint. His name is Pierre Toussaint. He a slave in Haiti and moved to the US with his owner I guess you would call it. After his “owner” died he was free and did a lot of charity work.

Anyways, as I was looking him up again I saw some sites called him blessed. I know Wikipedia says he still is venerable but I’m not sure how accurate that is. Where can we check on this process?

Thanks, and please keep Haiti in your prayers!

In October, 1995, Pope John Paul II, from the throne in the sanctuary of New York’s Saint Patrick’s Cathedral, publicly declared Pierre Toussaint Venerable. The great pope made the statement that Pierre Toussaint’s soul was worthy of public veneration.

That’s what I thought. I did research and saw he was called both but only were dates given for him to be venerable. Now he just needs a confirmed miracle to move on to blessed?

thanks for th reply:)
