The Venezuelan doctor was beatified on April 30, 2022, in Caracas. The act was carried out in a reduced ceremony due to the covid-19 pandemic, so only 150 people attended the San Juan Bautista de La Salle church. After his beatification, part of his remains were sent to the Vatican along with other character objects.
