Claudia Russo
Neapolitan founder of the Poor Daughters of the Visitation
Who they were
Russo organised care for the elderly poor of Barra, opening the Pia Casa in 1926 and founding the Poor Daughters of the Visitation of Mary.
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
Her cause was opened at Naples in 1982 and she was declared Venerable on 20 December 2012.
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.
