Who they were

He was parish priest at Sant'Ilario d'Enza and founded the Familiaris Consortio Movement.

The miracles

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

Why that counted as sanctity

The diocesan inquiry into the heroic virtues of the Servant of God Don Pietro Margini was opened in the Diocese of Reggio Emilia on 21 June 2020 (nihil obstat of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, 11 January 2018) and closed on 15 January 2022, the acts going to Rome.

The cause

Pietro Margini is named a Servant of God; the cause continues. Favours received, and offers of help, go to the postulation, the office that carries the cause forward: The cause of Pietro Margini.

A miracle approved by the Holy See is needed for the next step. Reporting one begins with the postulation.
