Who they were

Musso worked for two thirds of his life in service to noble households as a cook before entering the Friars Minor. Santi e Beati dates his death 27 January 1922; the Hagiography Circle says 26 January, and the Catholic source is followed here.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

His cause was opened at Turin in 1941 and the process closed in 1943.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
