Alexandre Toé
Burkinabè Camillian priest who died in Rome aged 29
Who they were
Born at Boromo in Burkina Faso, he joined the Camillians and died in Rome after barely a year and a half of priesthood, leaving spiritual diaries in which he called himself 'the poor Burkinabè'.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The diocesan phase of his cause of beatification was opened at the Tribunal of the Vicariate of Rome on 15 March 2024, presided over by Bishop Paolo Ricciardi as delegate of Cardinal Angelo De Donatis.
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.
