Who they were
Limited information is available on this saint so far. We are always working to add more, and this page will be updated as new information comes to light.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The decree on heroic virtues has been promulgated; a miracle would come next.
Why that counted as sanctity
A Milan physician and lay Catholic activist, he was a close friend of Agostino Gemelli and one of the founders of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, which is the petitioner in his cause. His informative process opened in 1934 and the decree on his heroic virtues was promulgated on 14 June 1971.
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.
