Manifesto for Beatification and Canonisation Request

Ralyn Tenorio

I'm signing this as one of Fr Al's children and a beneficiary of his outstanding work.

Janette Basilio

As a graduate of the historic Sta. Mesa campus—the very first Sisters of Mary school built in the Philippines—I strongly support the canonization of Venerable Fr. Aloysius Schwartz. Father Al’s mission completely transformed my life and many other scholars. Through free education and deep spiritual grounding, he lifted thousands of impoverished youth and families worldwide out of hardship. He lived a life of heroic, Christ-like charity. He is already a saint in our hearts. #FrAl #SistersOfMary

I want Ven. Al to become a saint. Without him there is no Sisters of Mary. And without Sisters of Mary, I am not what I am today. I came from a very poor family, without a bright future then. Then came the Sisters of Mary and gave me a chance to grow wholly, not just academically but the whole being. I learned a lot from Ven Al and the Sisters of Mary and until now, I’m living them out and transferring what I’ve learned to my family. I’m now currently serving the church and my community..

Father Al is always been a father to everyone! He is the great father who have been moulding his children to fly high with a humble heart, to reach out others with unconditional love.

He is our greatest father of the poor!

Christy Manlangit

Father Al, our founder and spiritual father, he dit not simple bulid schools. He built home of hope. Through his mission, we were formed to become responsible daughters of God and instruments of kindness in the world. His example of selfless service, deep faith and unwavering commitment to the poor remains a constant source of inspiration. He reminds us that one life devoted to God and others can transform countless lives. We wholeheartedly support his beatification and conanization.

Father Al deserve a recognition. He is a person with a good heart for the poorest children on earth. I am waiting for so long to hear to become a saint, because for me from the time I met his foundation he is a saint already. In every trials in my life I felt that he is with me protecting and guiding me for evey decision I made. How I wish the Vatican can see the good things that Farther Al did for each one of us children from the poorest of the poor.

Mould us physically,emotionally,mentally and spiritually as a real christians to become a very good children of Jesus Christ.

Fr. Al has always been a great help to those in need, especially when help is needed the most. Through his schools, he has given countless opportunities to those who truly need support in their studies - helping young people like me pursue their dreams, achieve success, and build a better future. What makes his work even more meaningful is that he is not only helping individuals improve their own lives, but also giving them the opportunity to one day help their families and others in need.

Alma Flores

Fr.Al helps children like me to finished high school and to reach my dreams. I asked Fr. Al's guidance during my board exam in nursing way back 2004. Every time I have big decisions or having difficulty I asked Fr. Al's guidance and prayers.
