Maria Chiara Serafina Farolfi (Francesca Farolfi)
Italian founder of the Clarist Franciscan Missionaries of the Most Blessed Sacrament
Who they were
A teacher from Tossignano, she founded the Clarist Franciscan Missionaries of the Most Blessed Sacrament.
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 informative process opened on 1 May 1968 and santiebeati.it records the Congregation for the Causes of Saints taking up the process on 12 April 1973; the decree on her heroic virtues was promulgated on 19 December 2009.
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.
