Giovanni Francesco Fantino Falco
Italian missionary priest in the Dominican Republic
Who they were
Fantino Falco was ordained in 1896, taught theology in Caracas and from 1899 worked in Santo Domingo. Santi e Beati dates his birth 26 May 1867; the Hagiography Circle says 16 May, and the Catholic source is followed here.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The diocese of La Vega opened the diocesan process of his cause in 1999.
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.
