At their fall plenary assembly in Baltimore, the U.S. Bishops gave their support to the cause of canonization of Cora Evans. This support allows the cause to further progress and continue to be investigated by the local bishop.
A brief life of Cora Evans
Born in 1904 in Utah, Cora Evans began life in a Mormon household. Then at the age of 3, Evans experienced a mystical vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary, though at the time she didn’t fully understand it. For the remainder of her childhood she lived according to the Mormon religion and eventually married her husband at the Utah Temple.
Shortly after her wedding, Evans started to have doubts about the Mormon faith and began a long road of investigation. In 1934, while lying sick in bed, she heard a radio program called The Catholic Hour, and afterward contacted a local Catholic priest. Evans met with the priest on multiple occasions and soon became convinced that God was calling her to be Catholic. A year later Evans, her husband, and two daughters converted to the Catholic faith.
