Pasquale Uva
Priest of Bisceglie who founded a psychiatric hospital and the Handmaids of Divine Providence
Who they were
A diocesan priest who, inspired by the Cottolengo, devoted himself to the mentally ill and founded the Congregation of the Handmaids of Divine Providence.
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
His cause opened on 24 November 1985 and he was declared Venerable in 2012.
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.
