Pedro Balzi
Bergamasque priest who spent his life in north-eastern Brazil
Who they were
Priest of Bergamo origin, born at Lausanne and ordained in 1950, formed in the Missionary Community of Paradiso in Bergamo, who worked in Brazil and died at Teresina.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Having received the nulla osta from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, the archbishop of Teresina began his beatification cause.
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.
