Domitilla and Danny Hyams could be remembered as saints
“This is indeed a historical moment and Little Eden is proud that the process of the Cause has reached this significant milestone,” said Little Eden Society CEO, Mrs Xelda Rohrbeck.
A small group of congregants and family members attended the opening session for the Inquiry for the Cause for Sainthood of the Servants of God, Domitilla and Danny Hyams.
The event was held at Christ the King Cathedral in Johannesburg on April 10. They are the founders of Little Eden Society.
Holy Mass and the opening session of the Cause were presided over by His Grace, Archbishop Buti Tlhagale OMI. It follows the preliminary phase which served to determine if there was enough evidence to pursue the Cause for Beatification and Canonisation.
An essential feature of the official opening session was the oath-taking by the officials of the Cause. The purpose of the oath by the officials and for witnesses is to learn the truth concerning the matter being considered.
It is done to fulfil the Canonical requirement, meaning it is a step required by the law which governs the process of the Causes. The process of the Inquiry of both servants will include formal interviews with numerous different witnesses, which will allow the Archbishop to make a formal submission to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints for their consideration.

Once the Diocesan phase is completed, it will be followed by the Roman phase. This means the process continues in Rome with Beatification and Canonisation coming later if evidence gathered passes the test.
The process of the Cause in its entirety is a lengthy one that may take many years to be completed.
“This is indeed a historical moment and Little Eden is proud that the process of the Cause has reached this significant milestone,” said Little Eden Society CEO, Mrs Xelda Rohrbeck.
