Nuns sing during a beatification ceremony for Sister Miriam Teresa Demjanovich at Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014, in Newark, N.J. Demjanovich, who died in 1927 at age 26, is credited with curing Michael Mencer's eye disease as a boy when he was given a lock of the nun's hair and prayed to her. The ceremony moves Demjanovich a step closer to sainthood with her beatification as it is the third in a four-step process. (AP Photo/Julio Cortez) **FILE**
