Alcide Lazzeri
Italian parish priest killed in the Civitella massacre
Who they were
Lazzeri was archpriest of Civitella in Val di Chiana and was shot by German troops on 29 June 1944 together with a seminarian and about 149 parishioners, after offering his own life for theirs.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Santi e Beati records that the diocese of Arezzo opened his cause as a martyr on 29 June 2019.
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.
