Who they were
Dal Vago took the name Bernardino of Portogruaro among the Friars Minor and served as their Minister General from 1869; he was later titular archbishop of Sardica.
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 23 June 1945, the acts were approved on 22 January 1993, and Benedict XVI authorised the decree on his heroic virtues on 3 July 2008, making him Venerable.
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.
