Who they were

Foundress of the Sisters called the Daughters of the Passion of Jesus Christ and of the Sorrowful Mary. santiebeati.it gives her birth as 3 April 1860, where the Hagiography Circle has 23 April 1860; 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

Declared Venerable in 1998.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
