A nun from Derry on her way to sainthood.

Bean rialta as Doire ar a bealach chun a naomhaithe.

The Catholic Church will today formally recognize a nun from Derry, Sister Clare Crockett, as a candidate for sainthood, at a special ceremony in Madrid.

Tabharfaidh an eaglais Chaitliceach aitheantas foirmeálta inniu do bhean rialta as Doire, an tSiúir Clare Crockett, le bheith ina h-iarrthóir le go ndéanfaí naomh di, ag searmanas ar leith i Madrid.

Mr Crockett, from the Long Tower in Derry, died in an earthquake in Ecuador in South America on 16 April 2016.

Bhásaigh an tSr Crockett as an Túr Fada i nDoire, i gcrith talún in Eacuadór i Meiriceá Theas ar an 16 Aibreán 2016.

The school where she was teaching music in Playa Prieta collapsed in the earthquake, when Sister Crockett was trying to get people out of the building.

Is amhlaidh a thit an scoil a raibh sí ag múineadh ceoil ann i Playa Prieta sa chrith talún, nuair a bhí an tSiúir Crockett ag iarraidh daoine a thabhairt amach as an fhoirgneamh.

The 33-year-old nun from the Brandywell area of Derry had done pastoral work, hospital chaplaincy and missionary work in Spain, the United States and Ecuador.

Bhí obair thréadach, séiplíneacht ospidéil agus obair mhisinéireachta déanta sa Spáinn, sna Stáit Aontaithe agus in Eacuadór ag an bhean rialta 33 bliain d'aois as ceantar an Brandywell i nDoire.

Around 100 of the Sister's relatives and friends are in Madrid today for the ceremony in the Cathedral of Alcalá de Henares at 5.30 a.m. Spanish time. This beatification ceremony is the first step in the process for the young woman to be canonized.

Tá thart ar 100 de ghaolta agus chairde na Siúrach i Madrid inniu don searmanas in Ardeaglais Alcalá de Henares ar a a 5.30 am na Spáinne Is é an searmanas beannaitheachta seo an chéad chéim sa phróiseas le go ndéanfaí naomhú ar an bhean óg.

The ceremony will be shown at the Brunswick Moviebowl cinema in Derry city this evening - all seats have been sold and it is expected that the additional 170 tickets that were made available will be sold.

Beidh an searmanas le feiceáil i bpictiúrlann an Brunswick Moviebowl i gcathair Dhoire tráthnóna - tá na suíocháin uilig díolta agus meastar go ndíolfar an 170 ticéad breise eile a cuireadh ar fáil.

Sister Crockett was originally an actress and television presenter before joining the Servant Sisters of Mother Teresa in Spain in 2001.

Aisteoir agus láithreoir teilifíse a bhí sa tSiúir Crockett ar tús sula ndeachaidh sí le Siúracha Searbhónta Bhaile na Máthar sa Spáinn i 2001.

She had been a nun since the previous year.

Bhí sí ina bean rialta ón bhliain roimhe sin.

There is usually a 5-year wait after a person's death before the process of sainthood can begin.

De ghnáth bíonn fanacht 5 bliana ann i ndiaidh bhás duine sular féidir an próiseas naomhaithe a thosú.

The application for canonization is the first step in the process; the title of Servant of God is conferred afterwards.

Sé an tiarratas ar chanónú an chéad chéim den phróiseas; bronntar an teideal Searbhónta Dé ina dhiaidh sin.

A formal report is submitted to the Congregation for the Causes of Saints and if the application is successful, the person is declared 'venerable' or 'venerable.' The candidate is granted beatification in the third stage and the process is concluded with 'canonization.'

Cuirtear tuairisc fhoirmeálta faoi bhráid na Cuallachta Naomhaithe agus má éiríonn leis an iarratas, fógraítear go bhfuil an té sin 'cásach' nó 'urramach.' Bronntar beannaitheacht ar an iarrthóir sa tríú céim agus cuirtear críoch ar an phróiseas le 'naomhainmniú.'
