Diocese to explore canonization process for heroic dad
In brief
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge of the Diocese of Arlington, Virginia, issued an official edict on September 10 to explore starting a canonization process for Thomas Vander Woude.
The edict does not officially open a cause for sainthood. Instead, it serves as the first step for the diocese to determine if it should pursue the process for Vander Woude.
