Clemente Gatti
Italian Franciscan priest imprisoned by the Romanian communist regime
Who they were
A Franciscan who served the Catholic mission in Transylvania and was deported and imprisoned under the Romanian communist regime, dying shortly after his release.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
His cause, treated as a cause of martyrdom, received the nihil obstat on 13 March 2002 and the diocesan inquiry opened at Padua on 25 September 2002.
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.
