Who they were

Camillian religious brother, known as Fratel Ettore, who gathered the homeless and destitute of Milan into shelters of his own making.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The first steps towards his cause were taken in the archdiocese from 2013; the diocesan inquiry ran from 19 December 2017 to 25 November 2023.

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.
