Church to follow up on Archbishop Camomot’s Beatification
CEBU church officials will be in Rome next month to follow up on the beatification of Cebuano cleric and former archbishop Teofilo Camomot.
Cebu Archbishop Jose Palma told reporters that the delegation, which will be led by Cebu Archbishop Emeritus Ricardo Cardinal Vidal, will get an update from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints at Vatican City.
Vidal will also follow up the cause of another Filipino would-be saint, the late Fr. Alfredo Obviar of Lipa, Batangas.
During Camomot’s 28th death anniversary held at his shrine at the Daughter of St. Therese Mother House in Valladolid, Carcar City yesterday, Palma said that once they are able to complete the documentation process, the next step will be to wait for testimonies of miracles attributed to the late bishop.
