Who they were

Laywoman of Bologna and founder of the Opera di San Domenico per i Figli della Divina Provvidenza, whose sisters are known as the Farlottine.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Her diocesan inquiry ran from 9 March 2009 to 16 April 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.

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.
