Who they were

Limited information is available on this saint so far. We are always working to add more, and this page will be updated as new information comes to light.

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

A farmer in the hills near Modena who with her husband Sergio Bernardini raised ten children, eight of whom entered religious life; their cause is a joint one. The diocesan phase ran at Modena-Nonantola from 20 May 2006 to 18 May 2008 and the decree on their heroic virtues was promulgated on 5 May 2015.

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.
