Pierangelo Capuzzimati
Italian teenage layman of the archdiocese of Taranto
Who they were
Diagnosed with acute leukaemia at 14, he died just short of his eighteenth birthday and is held up as a model for young people.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
Archbishop Filippo Santoro of Taranto solemnly opened the diocesan process on 10 January 2020, following the Holy See's nulla osta of 26 April 2018; the diocesan inquiry closed on 24 January 2025.
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.
