St. Rose of Lima was proclaimed a saint by Pope Clement X in 1671, and he named her patroness of the Americas, Philippines and West Indies.

“Not until after her death was it known how widely her beneficent influence had extended, and how deeply venerated she was by the common people of Lima. When her body was borne down the street to the cathedral, a great cry of mourning arose from the crowd. For several days it was impossible to perform the ritual of burial on account of the great press of sorrowing citizens around her bier.”… Later, miracles and cures were being attributed to her intervention."
