Who they were
A young scout from Castelbuono in Sicily who wrote poetry from childhood and died near Chambéry in France at nineteen.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The bishop of Cefalù set up the tribunal for his beatification process on 12 March 2006.
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.
