Who they were

Gualandris married Settimio Manelli in Rome in 1926; they had twenty-one children and were spiritual children of Saint Pio of Pietrelcina.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Their joint cause was opened in Rome on 20 December 2010 and the diocesan phase closed on 27 June 2014.

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.
