I just spotted this on the BBC website and am offering it for the edification of our members. India gets its first female saint In IC XC, Father Anthony+

Although the article fails to mention it, Saint Alphonsa was Syro Malabar.

Although the article fails to mention it, Saint Alphonsa was Syro Malabar. Deacon Lance is correct and, in fact, Sister Saint Alphonsa is the first member of the Syro-Malabar Catholic Church to be canonized. May she intercede for the restoration of religious peace and tolerance in her homeland. Many years, Neil
