Basilio Martinelli
Italian Cavanis priest who taught Latin and Greek for over fifty years at Possagno
Who they were
Basilio Martinelli was a priest of the Congregation of the Schools of Charity (Cavanis) who taught at Possagno for more than fifty years and was sought out as a confessor.
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 diocesan inquiry ran at Treviso from 1985 to 1988 and he was declared Venerable on 1 July 2010.
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.
