Who they were

Layman of Vaie in the Susa valley, a Catholic Action organiser from 1920 who later directed the national body for the orphans of workers killed at work (ENAOLI) until his death.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The nulla osta was granted on 3 October 2019 and the diocesan inquiry opened on 18 September 2021.

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.
