Katharine Drexel of Phi lade1phia was advanced March 15 when a Vatican board oftheologians affirmed that the 1974 cure of a 14-year-old deaf boy whose parents had known her could be attributed to divine . intervention. The boy had three small bones in the inner e.ar missing and doctors had judged that surgical intervention would be useless. After prayer to Mother Drexel he was a61e to hear. The case will now be examined by bishops and·cardinals of the Vatican Congregation for Sainthood. Final determination of a miracle is reserved to the pope.
