Who they were

Ordained for Aversa in 1913 and an army chaplain in the First World War, he taught and then headed the diocesan seminary before being made bishop of Policastro in 1937, a post he held until 1970.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

His beatification process opened on 19 September 2007, after the nihil obstat of 4 September 2007.

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.
