The Little Audrey Santo Foundation

Dear Friends of Little Audrey,

In April of 2007, when Little Audrey passed away, we all knew that we had lost someone very special to us and to so many others. We knew our Loving Father had called her home, in our minds, and I'm sure in the minds of many, we considered her our little saint, innocent as she was. Mention was made as to whether she would in fact, ever be made officially a saint, but this being a rare occurrence, this thought was put aside until recently.


Early last year, Linda, Audrey's mother, received a letter from Rome from a doctor Andrea Ambrosi, Postulator to The Congregation for Causes of Beatification and Canonization. Dr. Ambrosi communicated to us that the Church was very interested in pursuing the canonization of "Little Audrey" and subsequently came from Rome to Worcester to explain and begin the process. Since then we have been organizing ourselves and educating ourselves in this process. Admittedly, we knew very little of how to proceed, what organization and funding was necessary, as well as a myriad of other matters pertaining to the process of canonization.


How many times in our lifetime do we get the opportunity to participate in the canonization of someone we know or have met; not often, if ever. And so we have humbly and joyfully taken on this task. What presented itself immediately was the vast scope of this endeavor; the complete documentation of Audrey's life, physical history, spiritual manifestations, cures, documentation of all the relevant events in Audrey's life. We are committed to this, and have begun this process.


While this is a joyful task it is not an easy one. It will be expensive as the full financial burden will fall to Audrey's family and this Foundation... Please note: this Foundation will be dedicate exclusively to furthering the canonization of Little Audrey. It will be responsible for Dr. Ambrosi and his staff to travel to and from the United States (i.e. September 10th), documentation of miracles, all literature, communications, mailings, fund raising, and ultimately the travel to Rome (God willing) for the canonization of Audrey.


Therefore, we need your help on many levels; 1) Two miracles, fully authenticated and documented and fully attributed to Little Audrey, must be presented for consideration by the Church. Your help in identifying and collecting, translating documents, responding to replies, printing and mailings, are a daunting and expensive tasks.


Through the Foundation and your generosity, you will be given a rare opportunity-to directly participate in the canonization of a saint of the Church. Your financial support, and your prayers are most necessary for Audrey’s cause to come to fruition.


We hope you will give this letter prayerful consideration. May God bless you and may He bless our endeavor. For further information or inquiries of any kind pelase write or visit our web site at: littleaudreysanto.org


With thanks in anticipation of your prayers and participation.

Yours in Christ,

Rev. John Foley

President, Little Audrey Foundation
