Who they were

Ordained at Pouso Alegre in 1920, Monsignor Alderigi Maria Torriani was parish priest of Santa Rita de Caldas in Minas Gerais from 1933 until his death.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The nihil obstat came in 2000 and the diocesan inquiry ran from 3 February 2001 to December 2018.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
