Beatified on 18 February 1981 by Pope John Paul II in Manila and canonized on 18 October 1987 in Rome among the 16 Martyrs of Nagasaki (part of the 205), Magdalena’s cause relied on historical documentation of martyrdom rather than post-mortem miracles, though a group healing miracle was authenticated for the 1987 canonization.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/homilies/1987/documents/hf_jp-ii_hom_` | Beatified on 18 February 1981 by Pope John Paul II in Manila and canonized on 18 October 1987 in Rome among the 16 Martyrs of Nagasaki (part of the 205), Magdalena’s cause relied on historical documentation of martyrdom rather than post-mortem miracles, though a group healing miracle was authenticated for the 1987 canonization.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vatican.va/content/john-paul-ii/en/homilies/1987/documents/hf_jp-ii_hom_` | ||
