Who they were
Nella Pratesi spent much of her life ill and finally immobile, and her room at Faella became a place people came to for advice and comfort.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The nihil obstat for her cause was granted on 4 April 2000 in the diocese of Fiesole.
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.
