Who they were

She founded the Institute of St John the Baptist at Campomorone in 1927 and the priestly Congregation of St John the Baptist Precursor in 1959.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The diocesan tribunal for the cause of the Servant of God Antonietta Capelli was opened in the Archdiocese of Genoa on 6 October 2023.

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.
