Mother Bonifacia decided to make one final attempt to achieve a reconciliation. She went personally to Salamanca. There she was denied admission and ignored by the members of the community. Mother Bonifacia kept this sorrow to herself the rest of her life, only pouring it out gently in her journal with these words: “I shall neither return to the land where I was born nor to this beloved House of Saint Teresa”. Again silence sealed her lips, so that the community of Zamora learned of what happened only after her death. Thus she returned to Zamora and continued her life there, quietly working with the young girls and women of the city. She died on 8 August 1905. As Rodríguez had predicted, the house in Salamanca joined the Congregation in 1907, after her death. Currently, the Servants of St. Joseph serve in ten countries of the world: in addition to its birthplace of Spain, they are in Cuba, throughout South America, also in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam. They continue their work in the model set by St. Bonifacia, establishing industrial centers for training young women and guiding them in becoming witnesses to the Gospel in their societies. Pope John Paul II beatified Mother Bonifacia on 9 November 2003 in Rome. In 2011, the Holy See announced that Pope Benedict XVI had authorized that Mother Bonifacia be canonized, with the date set for 23 October.
