Who they were

Bavosi, known as Luminosa, was born in Buenos Aires, joined the Focolare Movement and died at Rocca di Papa near Rome.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Her cause for beatification was opened in January 2005.

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.
