A Baldwin Park priest, Juan Manuel Gutierrez, is credited with experiencing a miraculous recovery from a torn Achilles tendon in 2017. Gutierrez attributed his healing to prayers offered to Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati, an Italian journalist who died of polio at a young age. His case is being considered for canonization by the Catholic Church.
The Catholic Church is set to canonize a new saint after a Baldwin Park priest experienced what is being called a miracle recovery from a torn Achilles tendon back in 2017. Juan Manuel Gutierreaz, 38, was playing basketball at St. John's Seminary in Camarillo at the time when he hurt his ankle. With the injury seeming to worsen over the next few days, he visited a doctor and was diagnosed with a torn Achilles, according to Angelus News, a magazine published by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles.
He never received a response to that email, he said. Years later, in 2020, he was taking a class at St. John the Baptist in Baldwin Park about the diocesan phase of canonization causes taught by Monsignor Robert Sarno, an American priest who just retired after four decades at the Vatican's Dicastery of the Cause of the Saints, the Angelus News story detailed.
