Michelangelo Longo da Marigliano
Italian Franciscan friar and preacher of Naples
Who they were
Born to a noble family at Marigliano, he entered the Franciscan novitiate in 1829 and was ordained in 1834, spending his life in Naples. Santi e Beati gives his birth year as 1811, against the 1812 recorded by the Hagiography Circle.
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
The cause opened in Naples in 1908 and the decree on his heroic virtues was promulgated on 15 March 2008.
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.
