Mario Crocco (Francesco Crocco)
Italian Franciscan priest, missionary in China and later in Naples
Who they were
Crocco joined the Friars Minor as Brother Mario, served in China from 1936 until his arrest and expulsion, and later worked in southern Italy.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The Neapolitan Province of the Friars Minor promoted his cause and the diocesan inquiry into his life, virtues and reputation for holiness opened at Naples on 28 November 2024.
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.
