Italo Calabrò
Italian priest, vicar general of Reggio Calabria-Bova and a founder of Caritas Italiana
Who they were
Vicar general of the archdiocese and for many years head of its Caritas, he was among the founders of Caritas Italiana and set up the Agape community centre and the Piccola Opera Papa Giovanni for the poor and disabled.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Archbishop Fortunato Morrone opened the diocesan inquiry into his life, virtues and reputation for holiness on 10 September 2023 in the Cathedral Basilica of Reggio Calabria, with Paolo Vilotta as postulator.
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.
