TIMELINE OF THE PROCESS

Fr. Venchi saw the need for a Theological  Assistant, specifically a Filipino, who could help in investigating the POSITIO submitted by S. Maria Rita Ferraris, RVM in 1993, and come up with the theological dimension of the document showing the holiness of Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo.  With the approval and consent of the 8th Superior General, Rev. M. Maria Clarita Balleque and Council, the appointment of Rev. Fr. Enrico Emmanuel Ayo as Theological Assistant was made on 20 March 1997.  Referring to S. Maria Rita’s book and to his own research and study, Fr. Ayo completed his assigned task in a year and eight-month time.  He presented his finished work to Fr. Venchi, OP  in November 1998.
