The Vatican News, the Vatican’s information portal, said the Pope had authorized the promulgation of decrees on the causes of canonization of eight prospective saints, including Arroyo. She is the only daughter of Ignacio Arroyo and Maria Pidal and the sister of Mariano and Jose Miguel’s grandfather, Sen. Jose Ma. Mother Rosario’s remains lie at a mausoleum inside the Dominican Mother House in Molo District. Mother Rosario had four brothers but two died in infancy. Jose, the elder brother, was a lawyer who became a senator in 1917 while Mariano, a doctor, was Iloilo governor in 1928, according to her biography prepared by the Mother Rosario Arroyo Commission.
