Why that counted as sanctity
The Sicilian bishops' conference backed opening his cause in 2023 and the diocesan inquiry was opened at Palermo on 3 March 2025.
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.
