Who they were

Born at Gravina di Puglia, he practised as a doctor before being ordained priest in 1904, and founded two religious congregations, including the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Costato.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The diocesan informative process on his heroic virtues was opened at Naples on 21 November 1992 and closed on 23 June 1995.

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.
