- Angelo Paoli, an Italian Carmelite priest, on April 25 in Rome;
- José Tous y Soler, a Spanish Capuchin priest, on April 25 in Barcelona;
- Teresa Manganiello, an Italian Franciscan tertiary, on May 22 in Benevento;
- Maria Pierina De Micheli, an Argentine religious, on May 30 in Rome;
- Jerzy Popieluszko, a Polish priest and martyred chaplain to the Solidarity movement, on June 6 in Warsaw; and

In all cases, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints had already issued a decree testifying to a miracle through the candidate's intercession, or recognizing the candidate as a martyr.
