Adela Sesso (María Bernardita of the Immaculate)
Italian-born sister of the Poor Sisters of Saint Joseph of Buenos Aires
Who they were
Religious of the Poor Sisters of St Joseph of Buenos Aires, born at Montella in Avellino and a spiritual daughter of the congregation's founder Camila Rolón.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Her congregation reports that her cause of canonisation is proceeding, that her birthday is kept on 15 October and the anniversary of her death on 12 December, and that a museum of the Servant of God has been opened; celebrations asking for her beatification were held at Montella in the presence of Bishop Pasquale Cascio.
The cause
The cause continues. No postulation address is published here yet. Favours received through this person’s intercession, and offers of help, are best sent to the religious order or congregation they belonged to, or to the diocese where the cause was opened; either will pass them to the postulation.
