Franciscan sister Marianne Cope.

"New York Nun to be Canonized"

Yet another snippet from the American TFP's magazine Crusade. March / April 2012.

"Marianne Cope, a Franciscan sister who lived in the 1800s, is only one step away from being declared a saint.

"She helped establish St. Elizabeth Hospital in Utica and St. Joseph's Hospital in Syracuse before going to Hawaii to care for those with leprosy.

"A woman on her death bed was miraculously cured through her intercession.

"The Congregation for the Causes of Saints approved the miracle and Pope Benedict XVI is expected to soon approve the recommendation and set a date for the canonization ceremony ..."

Way to go, Holy Father! :)
