Carlo Sterpi
Italian priest, successor of Saint Luigi Orione as head of the Sons of Divine Providence
Who they were
Sterpi was Saint Luigi Orione's closest collaborator and succeeded him as superior general of the Sons of Divine Providence. Santi e Beati dates his birth 13 October 1874; the Hagiography Circle says 11 October, and the Catholic source is followed here.
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
His cause was opened at Tortona in 1958 and the decree on his heroic virtues was promulgated in 1989.
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.
