Carlo Grisolia
Young member of the Focolare Movement who died of cancer at nineteen
Who they were
He grew up in the Focolare Movement, where Chiara Lubich gave him the name Vir, and was diagnosed with an aggressive tumour the day before his friend Alberto Michelotti died in a mountain accident; he died forty days later.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
His cause and Michelotti's are run separately but in parallel by the archdiocese of Genoa, the diocesan inquiry running from 25 September 2008 to 8 October 2021.
The cause
Carlo Grisolia is named a Servant of God; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Carlo Grisolia.
