Who they were
Superior general of the Servants of Charity from 1915 and apostolic administrator of Lugano from 1917, he reorganised Catholic Action in Ticino and founded the Giornale del Popolo.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
The informative process opened on 1 July 1946 and he was declared Venerable on 15 March 2008.
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.
