Maria Anna Saltini Testi
Italian widow who founded the Daughters of Saint Francis of Carpi
Who they were
Saltini Testi married against her family's wishes and, widowed, founded the Daughters of Saint Francis of Carpi.
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 cause was opened in the diocese of Carpi in 1985 and the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated in 2002.
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.
