Shillong/Rome 19th July 2024: On 18th July 2024, Fr. Pier Luigi Cameroni, Postulator General of the Salesian Congregation met Fr. John Zosiama, INS Provincial and Fr. Sebastian Kuricheal, ING Provincial, in the Generalate and briefed them about the cause for the canonization of the two Servants of God, Fr. Constantine Vendrame and Bp. Orestes Marengo. The reports of the diocesan inquiry have already been approved and then submitted to the Vatican for further investigation by a team of theologians, historians, cardinals and bishops. Once this investigation is over the decree on the venerability of these two Servants of God will be promulgated and they will be entitled “Venerable.” Fr. Cameroni said that he was deeply touched and inspired by the lives of these two holy missionaries as he read through all the reports. He asked the two Provincials to encourage and spread the devotion to these two saintly figures in Northeast India involving the whole Church and the faithful as they made indispensable and unique contributions to the growth of the Church in this region. The process of diocesan inquiry for Fr. Vendrame had already began on 19 August 2006. The Province sincerely thank Fr. Barnes Mawrie, the postulator of diocesan inquiry, for his interest and hard work for this noble cause. Let us continue to spread the devotion to these two Servants of God, and pray earnestly that the process may go on smoothly.
