Who they were

A priest of the archdiocese of Turin who spent his life as a curate at Avigliana and refused promotion.

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

The informative process opened at Turin in 1931 and the decree on his heroic virtues was promulgated on 27 November 1981, making him Venerable.

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.
