Who they were

Priest of Sampierdarena in Genoa who opened houses for poor girls and founded the Daughters of Divine Providence, still known as the 'Sisters of Don Daste'.

The miracles

No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.

Why that counted as sanctity

The Holy See granted the nulla osta on 11 May 2006 and the diocesan inquiry ran at Genoa from 17 February 2017 to 26 October 2022.

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.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. If you know the postulation’s own page, tell us and it will be added here.
