Giovanni Battista Laurent (Egidio)
Italian lay brother of the Canons Regular of the Lateran at Verrès in the Aosta Valley
Who they were
Egidio Laurent, born at Montjovet in the Aosta Valley, was a cooperator brother of the Canons Regular of the Lateran at the provostry of Sant'Egidio in Verrès, where he died on 30 December 1941.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
The informative process began in the diocese of Aosta in 1950, and the postulation office of the Canons Regular of the Lateran lists him as Venerable following the decree on his heroic virtues of 14 May 1991.
The cause
Giovanni Battista Laurent (Egidio) has been declared Venerable; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Giovanni Battista Laurent (Egidio).
