Giuseppe Gualandi
Bolognese priest who founded the Little Mission for the Deaf
Who they were

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 opened in 1957 and the decree on his heroic virtues was promulgated on 24 April 2001.
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.
