Luigi Maria Ricci
Italian Servite priest of Viareggio
Who they were
He spent 45 years in Viareggio, first as rector of the church of the Sette Santi in the Darsena and then in the Sant'Andrea community, and was widely sought after as a confessor and spiritual guide.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Archbishop Paolo Giulietti of Lucca opened the beatification cause of the Servo di Dio padre Luigi Maria Ricci OSM on 19 March 2025, ten years after his death, with Fr Franco M. Azzalli OSM 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.
