Who they were

A Discalced Augustinian from Gallarate who spent his ministry in Paraná, Brazil, he died at Toledo in 1995.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The diocesan inquiry was held in the diocese of Palmas-Francisco Beltrão and the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints recognised its validity by decree of 26 February 2025, opening the Roman phase of the cause.

The cause

Angelo Carù (Possídio of Jesus Crucified) is named a Servant of God; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Angelo Carù (Possídio of Jesus Crucified).

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
