Page 13 - Prefinal Exam, San Pedro Calungsod

The Holy See approved a

miracle qualifying Calungsod for

sainthood by the Roman Catholic

Church on December 9, 2011. The

recognized miracle date was
March 26, 2003 when a women

from Leyte had a heart attack and

was pronounced as clinically dead.

Two hours after the incident, she

was revived when an attending

physician invoked Calungsod's

intercession.

Pope Benedict canonized him

last October 21, 2012 during the

World Mission Sunday.

San Pedro Calungsod is the
second Filipino to be declared

saint by the Roman Catholic

Church, next to San Lorenzo Ruiz

of Manila.
