So on her death on December 31, 1876, few people knew that Catherine was the one who brought the Miraculous Medal to the world.

In 1895 her cause for Beatification was introduced in Rome.

Exhumed in 1933, her body was judged to be incorrupt by the church, and it now lies in a glass coffin at the side altar of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Miraculous Medal ( often simply called by its address, 140 Rue du Bac ), Paris, one of the spots where the Blessed Mother appeared to her.

She was beatified on May 28, 1933.

On July 27, 1947, she was canonized a saint by Pope Pius XII.
