Giunio Tinarelli
Italian layman of Terni, bedridden for years, one of the first Silent Workers of the Cross
Who they were
A layman of Terni left an invalid by tuberculosis who became one of the first members of the Silent Workers of the Cross, the movement of sick people founded by Blessed Luigi Novarese, and died on 14 January 1956.
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 diocesan inquiry opened at Terni-Narni-Amelia on 4 May 1983 and a decree on his heroic virtues followed on 19 December 2009; the Opera Beato Luigi Novarese, which promotes the cause, calls him Venerable.
The cause
Giunio Tinarelli 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 Giunio Tinarelli.
