Who they were

A young laywoman of Osimo who founded two prayer movements for girls and mothers and helped organise a soup kitchen for displaced families after the war.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

At the request of the bishop of Osimo the Congregation for the Causes of Saints granted the nihil obstat on 22 March 1984.

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.
