Who they were

He left Italy in 1926 and spent fifty-six years as a missionary in Siam/Thailand, arriving in Bangkok in 1927, was ordained in 1936, and founded a local congregation of sisters to serve the missions. Santi e Beati gives his birth as 9 July 1900; the Hagiography Circle record says 7 July, so the Catholic source's date is used here.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Santi e Beati lists him in its Servants of God section as a Salesian priest; the diocesan inquiry was opened in Bangkok on 12 June 2012 and closed on 20 December 2014.

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.
