Hosanna House Retreat 14th-18th October
"We recognise our inadequacy
and offer it back to God
so that He can work through us."
If Brother Michael’s life inspires you, there are four ways you can help the Cause for his canonisation:
With your prayers for the Cause of his Beatification
Do please pray for the success of our mission. Our campaign prayer speaks of Brother Michael’s spirituality. And, although public veneration is not yet allowed, we can all pray that he may intercede for our own intentions.
By spreading the word about his life
Do please pray for the success of our mission. Our campaign prayer speaks of Brother Michael’s spirituality. And, although public veneration is not yet allowed, we can all pray that he may intercede for our own intentions.
You may like to share items from the archive which can be found here.
You can read and share details of 'Who are you Looking For?' - a book on the life and the spirituality of Bro. Michael, written by John Wolff.
By helping with the costs
All the costs of the Cause – including those of the Dicastery in Rome - must be met by its promoters. This includes copying and archiving costs, travel for researchers and the expenses of the Postulator, over a period of (perhaps) decades and covering her travel and hotel costs in two or more countries. If you feel able to make a contribution, please email treasurer@brothermichaelstrode.org Anything you can spare will be acknowledged and very much appreciated.
By writing a testimony
and sending it to postulation@brothermichaelstrode.org
We seek testimonies from all those who feel their lives have been influenced by Brother Michael’s, even if they never met him. We welcome signed, written statements that would help to:
build a picture of his Christian life and spirituality – showing that he might be worthy to be considered for the path to canonisation.
show how his example has encouraged people privately to seek his spiritual intercession on their behalf.
Testimonies are held in the archive of the General Postulation Curia Generalizia, Rome, to be examined in view of the opening of the Diocesan investigation.
It is important that the testimony is signed, and if possible witnessed by a priest or a diocese.
If you have any questions or require further information about testimonies, please contact postulation@brothermichaelstrode.org and post the original to: CBMC C/O HCPT Oakfield Park, 32 Bilton Road, Rugby, CV22 7HQ
Guidance for writing a testimony in support of the cause
Testimonies flyer draft AF1 (Version No. 2 29 August 2025) FINAL.pdfTestimony Front and Witness Attestation Sheets Template
Please download this to ensure your Testimony is in the correct format. Your Testimony statement should be inserted after your contact details and, if used; be followed at the end by the Attestation Sheet.
Your signature should be witnessed by a priest, preferably your parish priest, who should affix the parish stamp in the space below his witness attestation and signature. If your signature is witnessed, please remove the provision for your signature and the date, as well as the instructions, all at the base of page 1, as your signature and the date are then to be inscribed as part of the attestation provision to be completed by your witness on page 2.
Your signature and the date must be added by you in your witness’ presence, not beforehand.
