Llong was titled as a Servant of God after the cause for her canonization commenced under Pope Leo XIII on 4 September 1892.[3][4] Pope Francis named her as Venerable on 9 October 2017 upon confirming her heroic virtue. The Pope later approved a miracle attributed to her in 2020 which enabled for her beatification which was celebrated in Naples on 9 October 2021.
