Giuseppe Vitaliano Zilli (José Zilli)
Italian Franciscan priest who spent fifty-five years as a missionary in Argentina
Who they were
Zilli left Friuli for Argentina in 1953 and served in Santiago del Estero, Río Negro and Santa Fe, building churches in the places he was sent.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Santi e Beati lists him as a Servant of God; the diocesan inquiry was opened at Venado Tuerto in 2015.
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.
