Isidore of Saint Joseph

Isidore De Loor (18 April 1881 – 6 October 1916), also known by his religious name Isidore of Saint Joseph, was a Belgian professed religious from the Passionists. He served in various capacities at the convents that he served like being a janitor or a cook for his fellow religious though his cancer never limited his work for others.

His beatification was held on 30 September 1984.

Life Isidore De Loor was born on 18 April 1881 in East Flanders in Belgium as the oldest of three children to Aloïs De Loor and Kamilla Hutsebaut. His parents were devout and had been married since 1879. Pope John Paul II named him as Venerable on 12 July 1982 after confirming his life of model heroic virtue. The same pope beatified De Loor later on 30 September 1984.

The current postulator for this cause is the Passionist priest Giovanni Zubiani.
