Who they were
Cantamessa Gallo spent much of her life nursing the sick without payment and taking orphans into her home at Asti.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Her cause of beatification has been under way in the diocese of Asti since 8 December 2014.
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.
