Who they were

A leader of Catholic Action in Palermo and a primary teacher from 1946, she consecrated herself in the secular institute of the Missionaries of the Kingship of Christ and spent her last decade with an incurable illness.

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

The diocesan inquiry ran in Palermo from 7 November 1983 to 11 December 1987 and the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated on 11 July 1995.

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.
