 In 1954, Pope
Pious XII signed a decree accepting
a proposal for the beatification
of Charbel Makhlouf, the hermit.
And on December 5th, 1965, Pope
Paul VI officiated the ceremony
of Beatification of Father Charbel
during the closing of the Second
Vatican Council.
In 1976, Pope Paul VI signed
a decree of Canonization of
the Blessed Charbel which took

 Among the many miracles related

miracles are as follows :
- The healing of Sister Mary
Abel Kamari of the Two Sacred
Hearts.
