Who they were

Flavio Corrà, of a farming family at Salizzole and a brother of the future bishop Sennen Corrà, joined the resistance after the 1943 armistice with his brother Gedeone; both were deported to Flossenbürg, where Gedeone died on 18 March 1945 and Flavio on 1 April 1945.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Two parallel diocesan inquiries were held in Verona from 14 September 2000 to 17 May 2003 and were declared valid on 9 November 2007. The Verona diocesan weekly calls the brothers Servants of God, and gives Flavio's death as 1 April 1945, where the Hagiography Circle record says 7 April.

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.
