Concetta Bertoli
Italian Franciscan tertiary who spent decades bedridden
Who they were
A laywoman and Secular Franciscan of Mereto di Tomba, Bertoli offered her long illness for priests and missionaries.
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 process opened in the archdiocese of Udine on 13 January 1969 and the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated on 24 April 2001.
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.
