Angela Rosa Napoli (Sister Teresa)
Calabrian sister who founded the Franciscan Handmaids of the Good Shepherd
Who they were
Sister Teresa Napoli, born at Rizziconi in Calabria, founded the Suore Ancelle Francescane del Buon Pastore.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The nihil obstat is dated 19 November 2001 and Rome is the competent forum; the diocese of Oppido Mamertina-Palmi names her as the Servant of God who founded that congregation.
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.
