Sanctus nobis.........

..... rather we have six new saints

• Mary of the Cross MacKillop
• Brother Andre - Canadian monk said to have been able to heal the sick
• Stanislaw Soltys - 15th Century Polish priest
• Giulia Salzano - 19th Century Italian nun who founded a convent near Naples
• Camilla Battista da Varano - wealthy Italian who founded a convent in the 15th Century
• Candida Maria de Jesus Cipitria y Barriola - Spanish founder of a 19th Century convent

But as Fr Paul Gardiner SJ the postulator for the cause of Mary MacKillop points out, canonisations are about holiness not miracles
