Modestino da Pietrelcina (Damiano Fucci)
Italian Capuchin Franciscan brother, porter at San Giovanni Rotondo and disciple of Padre Pio
Who they were
A Capuchin lay brother and fellow townsman and disciple of Padre Pio, he served 42 years as convent porter, welcoming pilgrims from all over the world.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Archbishop Franco Moscone opened the diocesan inquiry into his life and heroic virtues on 14 September 2020 at the Sanctuary of Santa Maria delle Grazie in San Giovanni Rotondo, after the edict of July 2020.
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.
