Luigia Mazzotta
Young laywoman of Lecce who spent her short life bedridden by illness
Who they were
She died at Lecce at twenty-one after a long, disabling illness borne as an offering, one of a group of southern Italian women of the period known for this kind of witness.
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
Her informative process opened at Lecce on 22 March 1926 and the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated on 15 March 2008.
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.
