Maria Maddalena Moccia (Ermenegilda Moccia)
Italian Bridgettine sister who died at twenty-three
Who they were
Moccia entered the Bridgettine Sisters and died in Rome at twenty-three.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Holy See gave the nihil obstat on 16 December 2009 and the diocesan inquiry was opened at Rome on 5 July 2010. Santiebeati.it, which lists her as a Servant of God, gives her death as 20 April 1922 rather than the Hagiography Circle's 22 April.
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.
