Angelico Alessandrini (Mario Alessandrini)
Italian Franciscan cleric who died as a missionary student in China
Who they were
Alessandrini joined the Friars Minor at Genoa and went to the mission in Shanxi, China, in 1939, dying of typhus a year later at Taiyuan.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
His cause was opened by the Ligurian province of the Friars Minor in 2009 and the diocesan inquiry closed in 2011.
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.
