Who they were

She promoted the building of the basilica of the Incoronata Madre del Buon Consiglio at Capodimonte in Naples and founded the Handmaids of the Church to serve it and its works.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

Her cause was introduced with the nihil obstat of 11 October 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.
