Who they were
Priest of the diocese of Asti, born in the hamlet of Perosini at Antignano, one of the seminarians of his generation marked by illness who were ordained by special dispensation.
The miracles
No miracle has been approved. The cause is at its first stage.
Why that counted as sanctity
The nulla osta for his cause was granted on 1 June 1988.
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.
