Igino Giordani
Italian writer, member of parliament and co-founder of the Focolare Movement
Who they were
Igino Giordani, known as Foco, was a teacher, anti-fascist, librarian, journalist and member of the Italian parliament, married with four children, whom Chiara Lubich regarded as a co-founder of the Focolare Movement. Santiebeati gives his birth as 24 September 1894, where the Hagiography Circle record says 7 September 1894.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
His cause was opened in the diocese of Frascati after the nihil obstat of 20 March 2004; the diocesan inquiry ran from 2004 to 2009 and was declared valid in 2012.
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.
