Who they were

Marianna Amico Roxas of San Cataldo entered the secular Ursulines in 1912 and established the Company of St Ursula in the dioceses of Caltanissetta, Catania and Caltagirone.

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

Her cause began on 14 December 1988, the diocesan process closed at Caltanissetta in 1991, and she was declared Venerable on 19 December 2011.

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.
